Interview with Susan Drumm

Susan Drumm is a CEO Advisor and Leadership Coach with over 20 years  

of experience leading teams and senior executives to achieve their  

potential. Her consulting firm, Meritage Leadership, focuses on leader  

and team effectiveness by helping leaders develop the capacity and  

mindsets to lead in today’s disruptive environment. Meritage utilizes  

over a dozen exceptional coaches in its senior leadership programs. 

Susan draws on many disciplines in her approach. She has graduate degrees from Harvard Law School, Carnegie  Mellon University and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Susan obtained the highest level of  coaching certification as Master Certified Coach (MCC) through the International Coaching Federation. Susan  also holds certifications in HeartMath™, Integrative Enneagram (Level 2), EQ Learning in Action, Havening 

Techniques®, The Leadership Circle and is a Certified Forum Facilitator for YPO (Young President’s Organization). 

While working with fast-moving organizations and industries, Susan discovered that there are three levels of  leadership: individual, team, and system-wide — all of which need to be developed to meet the complexity of  today’s environment. Meritage developed a blended, whole-systems approach that enables organizations to  transform more rapidly than the simple “1:1 coaching plan” most other firms offer. 

Susan’s clients include C-suite executives from financial services, private equity, tech, healthcare, professional  services, media, consumer products, consulting and law. She has worked with organizations such as KPMG,  Oracle, Viacom, Microsoft, Conde Nast, L’Oreal, A&E Networks, Cisco, Merrill Lynch, Symantec, Merck, KCI,  Staples, MTV Networks and Genentech. 

Prior to founding Meritage Leadership Development, Susan was a Senior Consultant for The Boston Consulting  Group, Director of Marketing and Master Black Belt for NBC/GE and Associate Partner at The Trium Group in  leadership development consulting. 

In 2021, Susan launched a YouTube channel and podcast called The Enlightened Executive, where she  spotlights ground-breaking techniques and strategies to help executives and entrepreneurs get the edge in  personal and leadership effectiveness. Guests include founders of these programs and the executives who  have experienced them — and dig into what they are, what they offer, and whether they actually work to help  you evolve personally and professionally. 

Susan is a member of EO (Entrepreneur’s Organization) and volunteers her time with several boards and  organizations including Board Developer and Selfless Givers. Susan serves clients globally and lives in Scottsdale,  Arizona. She is passionate about travel, hiking, Pilates and healthy living and recently added a new family  member, Jasmine, a toy Australian Shepherd.
