Suzy Kedzierski is a marketing communications professional, a people connector, ideas generator, and writer at heart. For over 20 years, she led a communications team in “the fun stuff”—conceiving and producing all the mar-comm programs for a biotech firm.

Beyond the diversity of projects, creative outlet, and opportunity to work with talented co-workers, distributors and vendors from across the globe, she took pride in knowing the company’s lab equipment was being used to research and develop drugs, vaccines and more, improving human and animal healthcare. It’s there that she first collaborated with Marketing Now agency owner and SpotlightUkraine.com founder, Christine Mariconda. 

Today, Suzy is a consultant and writer, supporting select clients ranging from travel incentive marketing to the art world. The invaluable knowledge gained and friendships forged over her career are now finding a renewed sense of purpose, helping Ukrainians near and far.
