As an Associate Principal and Business Development Manager, Suzanne oversees the BD efforts for all four of DCI’s California offices. She has been an active member of the Architecture and Engineering industry for more than 20 years and believes the most critical aspect of business development is truly listening, whether it’s to a colleague, collaborator, client or someone she has just met. An avid architecture and design enthusiast, Suzanne enjoys exploring the built environment wherever she travels, which allows her to spread the word about DCI’s innovative approaches and design solutions to the rest of the AEC community and beyond. She is also a member of the Urban Land Institute, the Society for College and University Planning, the Association for Women in Architecture + Design and the Society for Marketing Professional Services. In addition, Suzanne has been a Director on the Board of the San Diego Architectural Foundation for the past ten years, including two years when she co-Chaired the popular Orchids & Onions Awards.
