As founder and managing director of May &Co., Susanne "Susa" May solves complex organizational challenges through data-driven culture transformation and leadership development. With over 30 years of experience spanning corporate leadership and entrepreneurship, she helps organizations adapt and excel in rapidly changing business environments. 

 

Seeing how traditional consulting approaches often created more problems than solutions, Susa built May &Co. to offer a different path. She recognized that sustainable organizational change requires both analytical precision and human understanding, a combination missing from standard corporate restructuring. 

 

Susa's unique perspective comes from hands-on experience driving significant organizational changes. At Daimler AG, she led the European restructuring of Mercedes-Benz and launched an automotive finance company in China. She now applies these insights to help clients like Nokia, Nutanix, Shell, and the World Bank Group create measurable cultural transformation. 

 

By combining data analytics with practical leadership strategies, Susa helps organizations: 

• Build high-performance cultures that drive business results. 

• Develop adaptable leadership capabilities across generations. 

• Create sustainable cultural change with measurable outcomes. 

• Scale organizational effectiveness while maintaining human connections. 

 

Susa's work has transformed organizations across 90+ countries, earning recognition from global leaders in technology, finance, healthcare, and international development. Her methods have helped companies achieve measurable improvements in employee retention, leadership effectiveness, and organizational performance. 

 

A graduate of the University of Konstanz in International Relations and Management, Susa continues to expand her expertise through advanced certifications from Harvard Business School, MIT, and Columbia Business School. She holds specialized certifications in psychometric assessment tools, including Leadership Circle and Team Assessment Survey, enabling precise measurement of organizational and leadership development.
