She’s since been invested as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by King Charles, served as an advisor to Government, taken Non-Executive Director roles at leading UK institutions, and become a champion for business across the UK.In this candid conversation, Susie reflects on her remarkable career in design, marketing, and leadership - alongside her award-winning entrepreneurial journey. She also shares the deeply personal experiences that shaped her powerful book Swimming on My Own - a raw account of inequality, resilience and survival.We talk about the power of humour, values-driven leadership, and why real success isn’t about ego or volume but about showing up, keeping going, and making change with respect and humanity.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/iPQ9odAX-Xbr3uTeTRnhkjmiRAUNO7ua4GA7aNl7ggY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mODBk/ZDUzOTU5MmI4YmRh/NDU0NTRmZTkzOGYy/MTkxNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
