💡 Are you enthusiastic about waking up in the morning to be the master strategist of your company, or are you dreading another day spent fighting fires and not getting anything significant done?

👋 Hey! I'm Susanne, a CEO Coach, entrepreneur, #1 international bestselling author, and the founder of BeASmarterLeader and SEE Management.

𝐌𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: To guide CEOs like you in reaching the top of your game.

And if you're up for it, we'll boost your bottom line by $499k in 99 days.


𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞: Back in 2001, life was amazing. I co-owned a big Swedish dot.com company and started our Netherlands office. I invested my heart, time, and money into it. But then, everything fell apart when the company went bankrupt. I lost everything, and it was devastating—going from a dream job to no job at all.


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠: We made these 4 epic failures!
⛔ We didn't delegate effectively
⛔ We weren't ready for massive growth
⛔ We didn't have streamlined processes in place
⛔ We, the C-Suite, stopped listening to our people


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝: Combining 20+ years in management consulting, over a decade in leadership, and hard-earned lessons from my dot.com collapse led me to develop a foolproof system to help CEOs like you:
✅ Boost your profits
✅ Keep your best people
✅ 'Buy back' +8 hours a week
✅ Build a scalable business model for growth


Great leaders aren't born; they're made.
True transformation can be challenging, so I've designed my system to help you save time, reach your potential, and become a top-notch CEO. 


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: Strategies to:
⭐ 'Buy back' your time so you can lead, not be 'all-over the place'
⭐ Create a CEO role that you'll absolutely LOVE having
⭐ Create space for innovation & big-picture planning
⭐ Create trust, structure, and sustainable growth
⭐ Build a winning, scalable company culture



𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: CEOs of SME companies on the U.S. East Coast, Canada, and Europe.
But why is this Swedish lady targeting the U.S. and Canada?
The mindset around the importance and value of a coach differs in the US and Canada from the rest of the world. I also love to speak English.

I watched a car crash when I was 8 and that made me fall in love with cars!


Before you imagine headlines, let me clarify - it wasn’t life size. It was my favorite red toy car, testing gravity on a 2 floor staircase. It didn’t survive the fall unfortunately and at that time, my heartbreak felt real!

Amid the wreckage though, I noticed something fascinating - a tiny DC motor quietly powering it all. That little thing had been running the entire show.

I ran to my dad, "Dad, what is this? How does it work?"

He said, "It’s a DC motor, buddy. It runs on these batteries and powers the car."

I blinked, "Huh? Like my heart?"

He smiled, "Exactly. Your food is like batteries for your heart. The DC motor is like the heart for the car - it makes it run."

"So batteries are food for cars?" I asked, trying to smell one of the batteries.

"Not for kids...or any humans, OK?" he grabbed it from my hand. 

"And let’s not tell your mom about this analogy either ok?" 

"Ana...what??" I quipped.

"Just don't mention about the batteries being food to your mom, ok?" he made me pinky promise.

Then he connected a few wires, placed the batteries back and said, "Now press the button."

I did.
And the motor roared back to life!

That was the moment I fell in love with cars - not the speed, not the design, but the system behind it. After that, I dismantled more DC motors than I can count. Our wall clocks never fully recovered from the lack of batteries after this incident.

Years later, mechanical engineering felt inevitable. And for the last decade or so, I’ve been in automotive R&D and innovation project management, turning complex ideas into real world products.

Along the way, I realized a frustrating truth, brilliant automotive founders often build amazing tech but struggle to make the market, investors or partners understand it.

That’s where I come in. I work with (not help) automotive founders to translate engineering choices into compelling narratives that attract capital, partnerships and talent - without oversimplifying or adding fluff.

Curious how this works in practice? DM me, and let’s make your tech impossible to ignore!
