It's rare that you come across standout talent like Susmi. I had the pleasure and the privilege to work with her in the Supply Chain team and her knowledge of the Regulatory Life science domain is impressive. She is always supportive, a great expert, an incomparable mentor . Her greatest strengths? Communication and problem-solving! She is able to transfer even the most critical client-related instructions with simple and clear information or by building-up useful trainings essential to our learning of the Regulatory labeling sector. Her passion for her job is tangible, always kind and responsive, always THERE if needed! Despite the time zone difference, I always had the feeling to work with her side by side in the same room; her genuine capacity to create an open dialogue to find together the right solutions to adopt, made her the best colleague for anyone! I feel myself very lucky to have worked with her, she is an invaluable colleague and a special woman, I strongly and sincerely recommend Susmi from all point of views!

Susmi is an amazing account manager with a wealth of localization knowledge. I had the pleasure of working closely with her at PPD, and she is always kind, helpful, and incredibly smart. She is great at communicating with requesters and at explaining the ins and outs of localization in a way that is clear even to those without a localization background. Susmi would be an incredible asset to any team.

Localization Project Manager at PPD
Susmi’s unwavering support through trainings, capacity-building and problem-solving initiatives was valuable and critical to our learning and growth within SDL’s Regulatory Labelling programme. Susmi made this possible by communicating ideas and information clearly and by creating an environment where we could engage in open dialogue and reach effective solutions together towards the optimization of daily operations. Knowledgeable, responsive and always too kind, she demonstrates a genuine interest for her co-workers – not only as colleagues, but also as people. The level of partnership I’ve had with Susmi has been one of the highlights of my SDL years – I feel extremely lucky to have met her and worked with her!
