OUR GUEST: Suzanne Lesko

Suzanne rose to the ranks of U.S. Navy Captain, with civilian advisory and leadership experience in corporate and federal sectors. She served as a Naval Aviator for 8+ years, and as Public Affairs Officer for 10+ years. She is now a sought after speaker, executive and advisor, engaging with audiences and happy clients.

She is a combat-tested leader forged in the heat of military action. I learnt to perform with grace and ease in complex, high-pressure environments.

As a former senior military leader she has seen it all, done it all, and lived to tell the tale. She has been shot at, captured and interrogated as a prisoner-of-war… and that was just military training! As a female combat aviator, she was an accidental trailblazer. She has flown counter-drug missions in Central and South America, and overland missions in other parts of the globe. She served in Iraq on the ground both in a military and civilian capacity. She led large-scale campaigns, missions, operations, and teams in challenging environments around the world.

She spent the last ten years of her Navy career working with combat leaders in U.S. Special Operations. She has advised leaders at the highest levels of governments and corporations to resolve some of the most challenging issues we face globally.
