This includes prestigious firms such as the Magic Circle firm Clifford Chance, and The Big 4 firm PwC. From a young age, Suzy was immersed in business, supporting her father who had founded one of Egypt’s leading production companies. These early experiences instilled in Suzy an understanding of business intricacies and leadership dynamics and laid the groundwork for her profound understanding of compassionate leadership. The journey from selling the family business in Egypt, to ascending the UK’s corporate ranks over two decades gave Suzy invaluable insights and experiences. During this time, she experienced first-hand the unique obstacles that professionals, particularly women, encounter on their way to achieving their career aspirations. She also had the opportunity to learn what great HR and people strategies look like, and the pivotal role leadership coaching and career development can play to support business success. The advent of remote working, especially during the pandemic, highlighted unique challenges for women in the workforce, propelling Suzy to leverage her achievements for broader societal impact. In June 2020, she pivoted to focus entirely on launching her career coaching practice, with a special emphasis on helping women navigate their career paths with confidence and purpose. Her extensive corporate experience drives Suzy’s deep commitment to forming authentic connections with her clients, steering them towards discovering and honing their leadership styles for a rewarding career.
