Susan is a seasoned philanthropic executive, committed to making a difference in the lives of Canadians through the power of philanthropy. With diverse leadership experience in the healthcare, education, research and culture sectors, Susan recently retired after 7 years at the Royal Ontario Museum as President & CEO of the ROM Governors, inspired by the opportunity to build on her lifelong passion for the ROM and her love of helping donors realize great impact through philanthropy.
