Susan is an award-winning scientist and highly regarded leader, leadership coach, and a global STEM leadership development expert, speaker and author, with 25 years’ experience in STEM, Defence and National Security, and STEM leadership development.
Susan is a co-author of the #1 international best-selling book ‘Women Transforming the Landscape of Science and Tech’.

She has authored a number of leadership articles and undertaken research in female STEM leadership. The Australian Business Journal identified Susan as one of the 20 Australian leadership experts to watch in 2021.
Susan is a strong believer in the need for diversity in leadership to tackle the STEM and Security challenges the world is facing and is passionate about increasing gender diversity in leadership. Inspired by the challenges of her own leadership journey, she works to transform the profile of leadership in STEM- and security-related organisations and uplift women in these professions into leadership roles.
As a female leader in STEM and security herself, Susan understands the challenges women in STEM and security-related professions can experience on their leadership journey. As the Founder and Director of Aya Leadership, Susan works with women in these professions to master their leadership purpose, skills and experience through education, resources and coaching. She works with STEM and Security organisations to develop strategies and deliver training to ensure they have the diversity and expertise of leaders they need now and into the future. Her leadership development approach is research-based and delivers practical, actionable strategies that make a real difference.
