Susan holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurial Studies who has worked 25+ years in ISO 9001 Quality Management & Quality Customer Service.  She has been successful blending the right amount of art and science needed to create a formula to success for organizations to consistently meet and even exceed client expectations.

"Today’s business world is characterized by rapid change, globalization and clients who insist on increasingly higher levels of product and service Quality. To deliver on this client need, increasingly more and more businesses are being certified to world-class quality standards such as ISO 9001:2015.  The time is now."



Download The Capability Statement
I moderated a conference session for Susan, which she delivered with energy and enthusiasm. The attendees found her content to be relevant and practical, and they were very satisfied with the outcomes. Susan is an expert communicator with a delightful and collaborative manner. I also worked with Susan behind the scenes on various organizational initiatives, and found her to be very diligent and responsible, balancing her roles as leader and team player. She demonstrates many ideals that are valued in Quality and Business Services.
