Her vision has been the driving force behind defining wellness not just as a lifestyle choice, but as a critical economic and institutional pillar that bridges the gap between science and soul.

As the leader of the 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞, Susie has mastered the art of "Davos-style" thought leadership, bringing together heads of state, global CEOs, and scientists to quantify a wellness market that now stands as a $6.8 trillion economic powerhouse. By spearheading initiatives like WellnessEvidence.com and the Wellness Moonshot, she has transformed the sector from a fragmented service industry into a cohesive, evidence-based global asset class.
Her stewardship at the 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭—now approaching its landmark 20th anniversary—has created a borderless inner circle where collaboration supersedes competition. From identifying the "Wellness Real Estate" boom decades early to her current focus on Longevity as the industry's new North Star, Susie’s journey is a masterclass in professional mastery—shaping a world where healthspan and lifespan are the ultimate measures of global success.
