With over 25 years of experience in the customer service and hospitality industry, Suzun’s career has spanned several continents.

Suzun was born in London, England and worked in various positions with British Airways for 10 years before moving to Nigeria and Indonesia prior to coming to the United States in 1994.

Suzun worked with such clients as Novartis, Merck, Sanofi-Aventis and Schering-Plough and as well as with AON Risk Services and Napco LLC . She was also involved with “110% fun events” including the debut of the Band of Brothers, the HBO Mini-Series at The National World War II Museum, and the Anne Rice’s Mini-Series “The Feast of All Saints” for Showtime Networks. It would not have been New Orleans if she had not assisted in the planning, for 2 consecutive years, of the Mardi Gras Day event for American Express Centurion Cardholders as well as Super Bowl XXXVI events for Fox Sports and ESPN Classic.

July 4th 2002 brought Suzun from the Big Easy to the Windy City where she held several business development positions in the Catering and Event planning industry working with clients such as the University of Chicago, Northwestern and Roosevelt Universities, Morgan Stanley, Ernst & Young, KPMG, Freeborn & Peters, Skidmore, Owens & Merrill, UniCare/WellPoint and Akzo Nobel.

October 2008 Alexander persuaded Suzun out of ‘mummy hood’ and back to the U.S., after she had moved to the U.K. with her infant son in July 2006, to take up the position as Director of Sales for ADH Events. Suzun serves on the Women’s Committee at The Mid-America Club and on the Membership Committee at the British American Business Council.
