Lean Project Specialist @Reinhardt Lean Design and Consulting
As an architect in California and Colorado, Susan excelled at managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders ranging from a $1.5M mountain library to a $4B university in Saudi Arabia.

She has always nurtured a passion for developing new project management methods so projects will be successful from the beginning and bring maximum value to the client.
As a consultant, Susan provides coaching for facility owners, designers, and contractors on Lean methods for building projects up to $1B, including Tool Install Design in a new semiconductor fabrication plant, pharmaceutical facilities, large historical renovation projects, educational facilities, government buildings, infrastructure projects, healthcare, and more. She has conducted research on better incorporating minority firms on large public projects, helped businesses decide whether and how to enter new markets, and coached leaders on how to implement firm-wide initiatives and better manage their teams.
With International consulting experience in Switzerland, Kenya, and South Sudan, Susan is capable of working in any demanding environment. She remains passionate about helping owners, architects, engineers, and contractors employ lean production strategies that satisfy stakeholders on-time and on-budget, but NOT on holidays or weekends.
