On a Personal Note
Susan lives in Alexandria, Virginia with her husband and their two beagles. On any given day, you’ll find her squeezing in a Peloton ride, experimenting in the kitchen with her husband, or planning the next great trip. She’s a devoted fan of her brother’s football teams and brings that same enthusiasm to staying current, whether that means exploring new technology, taking on a new course, or simply never stopping learning. Susan is also deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of technology leaders and brings that same energy to everything she does at Obermeyer.
