Before G4C, Suzanne worked for many years with Marc Weiss during the founding of Web Lab, a socially-conscious think tank dedicated to using the internet for social good during the early days of the world wide web. In her 30s, Suzanne worked in documentary film, including as Production Manager on the Stephen Ives/ Ken Burns’ PBS Series, “The West.” After the fall of communism, Suzanne co-produced the first humanitarian aid/ television event in Czechoslovakia bringing medical supplies to hospitals around the country with a focus on neonatal intensive care. Just out of college, she conceived and produced one of the most successful volunteer Amnesty International benefit events, “The Art of Free Expression,” a photography exhibition raising money to help free people overseas unjustly imprisoned for their beliefs and ethnicities.
Suzanne has been a proud volunteer for Housing Works, a charity supporting homeless people living with AIDs, and Visiting Neighbors, a non-profit dedicated to helping the elderly in New York City remain active and independent by providing assistance such as escorts for errands and doctors’ appointments. Suzanne is a competitive Scrabble player but most enjoys playing it with her daughter.
