Fun facts: Susanne is a native German speaker, received a full scholarship to study classical ballet, and is currently learning to sail. She met her husband in an MBA program’s “Mathematics for Managers” class where, as a former engineer, he ruined the class curve. She has raised two children, two dogs, two guinea pigs, and way too many tropical fish while renovating an 1880s Victorian.
