Suzanne is the team leader of the Herman Brood Academy (HBA), the leading vocational education program in the music industry. Under her leadership, HBA plays a key role in training the next generation of artists, technicians, and managers who achieve success both on stage and behind the scenes. The academy is known for its strong connection to the music scene and its practical, industry-relevant approach to education.

Suzanne actively contributes to the development of a safe and inclusive learning environment where students are inspired to pursue their ambitions. Drawing from her own experience as a student, she understands how limiting traditional views of the "tough music industry" can be. This has driven her to offer a different perspective—one in which students are encouraged to take control of their professional futures and believe in their ability to make an impact.

At Eurosonic Noorderslag, Suzanne participates in a panel discussion on leadership and a safe music sector. With her vision and experience, she is committed to a sustainable music industry that prioritizes both talent and well-being.
