Susannah works with founders, co-founders and General Partners to strengthen professional and personal relationships, resolve conflict and protect wellbeing when stakes are high. She also supports business leaders and GP teams to think purposefully about succession and leadership transition.

Before training as a therapist, she built and invested in businesses herself, experiencing firsthand the demands, uncertainty, and intensity of being a founder.

“I’ve lived and worked across different countries and companies, witnessing how culture, values, and personal story shape our success. I’ve experienced the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and investment, and I know how ambition and uncertainty can strain our closest relationships. I’m passionate about helping people repair, strengthen and sustain their most meaningful relationships and find clarity and deeper peace.”
