International property 2015

Susan pivoted industries in 2015 to international property investment, she continues her property management but she has reappeared in the executive recruitment scene to pursue her passion for finding talent. Susan finds talking with what she describes Titans of banking and hearing about their deals to not only be a privilege and fascinating but much more interesting than having to refurb and clean a property every time a tenant moves out.
