Susan Freeman, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Scholar
Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Susan is a leader in the fight for equity in the workplace. She draws on her experiences as a CEO, academic, trainer, author, sales executive, and business owner. Susan’s passion for equity in business drives her fight for the underrepresented to get a seat at the table, and once there, to be heard and respected. Susan works with clients on systemic changes at the 4P-level (policies, practices, pay, and pipeline), creating a roadmap for change. Everything she does starts with metrics of where the client is and then benchmarking progress.
Susan is a Ph.D. scholar at the University of California in Management of Complex Systems. She graduated with honors with a Master of Arts degree in Communication with a focus on Communication Theory. Her 2010 thesis is “A Study of the Importance of Client-Centric Communication in Business Development Within a Law Firm Setting” (a look at transitioning from a practice of law to a business of law). Susan also graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and another in Journalism with a minor in Marketing. Susan studied negotiations with G. Richard Shell, Chair of the Wharton School’s Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department. She also completed Cornell University’s certificate program, the Institute for Women’s Entrepreneurship program and Stanford University’s executive certificate program, Leverage Diversity and Inclusion for Organizational Excellence.
Susan is currently studying how arrangements of people, organizations, information, technology, and the natural world give rise to complex adaptive phenomena that pose difficult challenges to society. She identifies and executes strategies that seek balance and alignment among social justice, environmental resources, and economic welfare, all toward the long-term sustainability of people, planet, and profit (PPP).
Susan often writes for Legal Business World and American Lawyer Media.
Susan is based in Southern California, with offices in Riverside, CA, Central Valley, CA and Honolulu, HI.
