Suzanne is a healthcare business leader with over four decades of experience in science and business.
She co-founded SzyWalk LLC, a management consulting firm based in Naples, Florida, which assists start-up to mid-market companies in the biotech, pharma, medical devices, and consumer industries in achieving sustainable and profitable growth. SzyWalk LLC provides strategy consulting as well as organic and inorganic growth services, including all stages of M&A. At SzyWalk, Suzanne uses innovation to dissect obstacles into opportunities. She guides people and businesses to imagine into the complex future, paint a portrait of what they want to become, and birth a plan to get there. Suzanne also holds advisory roles, including for a medical packaging company and a generative AI drug design company. She gives back by serving as a Trustee for her alma mater, Wheaton College in Norton, MA, and as a Life Science Advisor for Springboard Enterprises, supporting women-led start-ups.

Suzanne anchored her career at Johnson & Johnson, where she spent more than two decades working in various leadership roles in marketing and mergers, acquisitions, and licensing across all three J&J sectors, including medical devices, consumer, and pharmaceuticals. As a champion of disruptive innovation, Suzanne developed strategies and launched numerous new businesses, joint ventures, new brands, and dozens of new products. As VP of Business Development at J&J Corporate Development, she focused on business acceleration and incubation for new J&J growth platforms by creating strategy and supporting equity investments in adjacent and “white space” areas for J&J. She also led one of the workstreams to establish the J&J Innovation Centers in Cambridge, San Francisco, and London. In her last corporate role, as VP of Business Development and Global Head of Consumer Business Development Operations and Alliance Management at J&J, Suzanne oversaw due diligence, integration, and alliance management process excellence/best practices for the Consumer M&A function and led the inorganic growth strategy process across all Consumer franchises.

Suzanne graduated summa cum laude with an undergraduate degree in Biology from Wheaton College in Norton, MA, where she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. She also holds an MBA degree from the Krannert (now Daniels) School of Business, Purdue University. Suzanne is an accomplished thought leader and has served as a panelist and keynote speaker at numerous internal and external events on a broad range of topics. She continues to coach and mentor promising leaders and has a passion for sparking sustainable growth in both businesses and humans.
