Since joining the Barclays HR apprenticeship in 2015, Suzan has held a number of roles across the organisation, as well as multiple leadership roles across employee resource groups (ERGs), including mentor for Disability ERG, champion of the Gender Careers workstream, lead for the Gender Allies workstream, co-lead for the Black Professionals and Gender reciprocal mentoring programme, co-chair for the London Military Network and data lead for the HR Diversity workstream.
Suzan has looked to use her experience of entering the world of financial services in a “non-traditional” manner, as someone whose background does not fit the stereotype, to share her experiences and increase awareness on possible routes in to employment and navigating the world of career progression, both in her day jobs, including roles supporting veterans in to the right job for them and managing a self-evaluation talent & development tool, and outside of it. Away from work, Suzan also sits on her local community Board, focusing on bringing new communities together and driving discussions on diversity demographics.
