About Susanne Cordes-Hoelterhoff

  I am a cross-cultural executive and leadership coach & trainer - asker of tough question, deep listener, passionately curious and overall co-daredevil. Being born in Germany, growing up in Taiwan, and speaking German, English, Chinese, and later Spanish daily formed the core of my curiosity and multicultural comfort zone very early on. Following a 15-year global sales, marketing & product management career in an international setting headquartered in Germany, I grasped the opportunity to completely recreated my path upon moving to Michigan, USA and into the area of executive and leadership coaching, development and training – always with a focus on cross-cultural gifts and challenges. I am a global thinker with understanding of other cultures and international experience which I gain from and use with clients spread around the globe. I find joy in diversity, building connections and simplifying complexity, and encouraging clients to grow beyond themselves.
