Background

About Susan Scheer Aoki

My career is built on diverse experiences, driven by hard work, tenacity, collaboration, and meaningful relationships. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt's wisdom, I am dedicated to innovation, business growth, and service. Her belief that 'Success must include two things: the development of an individual to their utmost potential and a contribution of some kind to one's world' deeply resonates with me and guides my professional journey. I am committed to roles that contribute to the wellbeing of others. As a Career Consultant at LHH, I guide and support professionals through career transitions by assisting with career planning, skills development, personal branding, resume building, job search techniques, networking, interviewing, and negotiations. I celebrate when clients achieve their career goals. Additionally, I serve on the Board of Directors for United Way San Luis Obispo County, leading initiatives that address poverty and make a tangible impact on daily lives. I have a proven track record as a decision-maker and leader in Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing. My expertise lies in building differentiated strategies, aligning cross-functionally, solving customer pain points, accelerating adoption, and driving business outcomes. At Cisco, I defined and built products that are foundational to the Internet. At NetApp, I pioneered new solution offerings and enhanced customer experiences. At VMware, I redefined service experiences and delivered platforms for business transformation. I also served as the executive sponsor of Cisco and VMware’s Women in Technology Employee Resource Groups and facilitated VMware’s Inclusive Leadership in Action management training. My inclusive and authentic leadership style fosters collaborative environments that respect and empower team members to deliver exceptional outcomes. As an avid mentor, I build lasting relationships that shape careers and support professional growth. Looking forward, I am excited to continue delivering real impact in our professional and personal communities, making a difference for others.
