About Susan Vanderburgh, JD
As someone who went from losing everything as a child — shipwrecked, displaced, and starting over in a country where I didn’t speak the language — to rebuilding my life one job, one degree, and one act of courage at a time, I now help organizational leaders, legal professionals, business owners, and mission‑driven entrepreneurs rise, rebuild, and win no matter what they’re facing.
I combine nearly 30 years of experience in law, business, real estate, and nonprofit leadership to help organizations and professionals gain clarity, build resilience, and create systems that actually work in real life. My approach is practical, direct, and grounded in lived experience — not theory — so clients walk away with tools they can use immediately to move forward with confidence.
