Meet Susanna
Susanna Wills-Johnson
I knew from a young age that thinking deeply about problems, considering ideas from multiple perspectives and crafting engaging stories that connect people were what sparked my imagination.
After completing my studies in Philosophy and living overseas in Scandinavia (geist is one of the Swedish words for ‘spark’), I forged a career in education marketing and communications, seeking employers that offered a values-matched environment. Over 20 years, I led teams in small, medium and large providers, with a focus on reputational management, strategic communications and tactical marketing campaigns. My most rewarding experiences have involved start-up initiatives, developing new teams and helping organisations navigate periods of uncertainty.
As Director of Geist Consulting Australia, I will bring to your organisation problem-solving, critical thinking and analytical skills combined with high-level marketing, communications and community engagement expertise.
