Bio
Laura Lee (L2) Morel-Brennan
I recently had the pleasure of working with Suzanne on the execution of a major industry tech conference, SpiceWorld, Austin. She was an invaluable resource and took on a great deal of work -from booth design to staffing, to demos, to awareness and helping to drive traffic while tracking all on well-managed documentation and weekly alignment calls. Suzanne also drove every piece of event minutia through a new brand and legal review process. Suzanne did this with extreme focus and attention to detail while remaining collaborative across organizations and aligned to the strategic intent of all aspects of the event. With Suzanne's background in technology, she quickly grasped nuances and business objectives allowing her to streamline complex aspects of the program very efficiently. Her background also made it easy for her to jump into working with the global HPE SMB quickly and fluidly. Suzanne was game to work on any aspect of this project we needed assistance with while working hard to ensure deadlines were met. She is one of the most detailed oriented event marketing team members I have worked with. I truly admire her work ethic, ideas, and problem-solving abilities. I would absolutely recommend working with you Suzanne.

Suzanne was without a doubt one of the finest managers I ever worked for during my years at Hewlett Packard. She not only provided clear direction and set realistic (but challenging) goals, but also inspired and motivated me and my peers to be accountable, to believe in our own capabilities, and to grow our skill sets and expertise. Under her guidance, our team of solution test engineers and architects thrived and completed project after project successfully, per schedule and scope commitments. In short, we became the team that other solution teams in Hewlett Packard’s storage division were measured against. Because of her managerial style, her strong character, her own work ethic and her belief in us, when escalations and other issues happened that would impact a project’s schedule, any and all of us would step up and do whatever it took to keep the project on track. In my 12 years at Hewlett Packard (and over 20 years in the engineering field in general) I have met only a handful of managers who can inspire a team like Suzanne can. To sum up my recommendation, I would work for her again in a heartbeat.
