About

I’ve built my career in the early-stage landscape; working hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs from ideation to multiple billion-dollar exits over the past decade. I’m currently Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Pattern Brands, a portfolio of purposeful brands, including Open Spaces, Onsen, Poketo and more. We’ve raised over $50M in funding, and are focused on completing thoughtful acquisitions of sustainable DTC-first businesses and scaling them in an omni-channel manner. Prior to co-founding Pattern, I was General Manager and Partner at famed challenger agency, Gin Lane, helping launch over 50 DNVB brands and playing a critical role in shaping the founder journey for brands like Harry’s, Hims, Sweetgreen, Quip and more. I have a particular knack for dropping into any part of an organization to lead and solve complex challenges – whether across supply chain, marketing, or in an agency setting. At my core, I am an operations leader and, perhaps more importantly, a problem solver. I bring deep P&L and operational knowledge, and possess the flexibility to both lead and dive in on different functions to address granular issues and relieve stress points. Excited to connect and help however I can.

Suze is amazing! She came to our call fully prepared, with a well-structured approach. She took the time to dive deep into our brand, asked insightful questions, and provided tips that were specific and actionable. I'm excited to start implementing them right away to drive growth, enhance our marketing efforts, and steer our brand in the right direction. I’m looking forward to my next session with her.

Suze is a one of a kind creative + operator. With a deep understanding about every area of business, she is also super insightful and generous with the amount of advice she has to offer. Always great to get on a call with someone who genuinely knows and cares to help. One of the best sessions you can get to unpack any issues or struggles you're facing!

Suze is an absolute rockstar. She went above and beyond in providing quality advice that was actually applicable to our issues. She also took the time after the session to provide really effective resources for my team and more or less did their job for them. 10/10 would recommend to any agency owner or CPG brand owner!

Suze shared multiple lessons from her time running operations at her agency which were packaged for me in a way that gave me clear definitive actions to go and implement. When it comes to operations, process and team management Suze knows what she’s talking about.

Michael S

Suze had in depth knowledge about e-commerce, she asked the right questions and made sure we know exactly the risks waiting for us going down the road we intend to go. She gave strategic advice and I'm happy we had this session.
