While the past five and a half years have been some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of my career, I'm leaving Audible at the end of 2024 due to an organizational restructure. I'm transitioning out of an impactful and meaningful role that let me build our business and brand around the world and serve as Audible’s Executive Champion of our largest employee impact group, Women@Audible. We’ve achieved so much together during this time: delivering strong revenue and audience growth in our expanding marketplaces beyond the US; launching new services in Spain and Brazil; deepening our presence in Spanish-speaking Latin America and the rest of the world; shaping the creative, financial and cultural outcomes of content and marketing investments for thousands of audiobooks, Original titles and podcasts; and, conceptualizing and delivering our first-ever breakthrough, award-winning global brand campaign. I’m particularly proud that during this time, we significantly increased the number of women in our leadership pipeline. None of this would have been possible without my fantastic team around the globe and roster of agency partners (you know who you are!) - thank you for your contributions and partnership. This transition gives me the opportunity to pursue my biggest ambitions, so while this chapter is closing, I leave with gratitude to those who have shaped my journey and excitement for what’s next. #insideaudible
Best of luck in your next adventure!
In Brazil we consider ourselves lucky to have you successfully leading the launch of Audible localized service here. Your vision, wisdom and openness were crucial for us to achieve such good results. Thank you for everything, but especially for your kindness in letting me share a piece of this journey as part of the team. And I reinforce what many here have already said: you will be deeply missed. I hope to meet you again soon. <3
What an incredible journey you've been on -- an amazing leader and inspirational role model. Congratulations.
Bravo, Susan! 👏
Susan, thank you for being an inspiring partner and leader these past few years — and yes — there is so much to be proud of. You’ve left a great team and the business in great hands. I can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
It has been such a delight working with you over these past five years and pushing into Spain and Brazil amongst many projects. Wishing you all the very best for the next chapter!
I can’t wait to see what you do next. Always pioneering. Always leading with focus and care. Congrats on an amazing 5 years.
You have had such an amazing journey. I know you will thrive in your next adventure. So glad we connected recently and happy to chat if helpful.
It's clear that you have achieved remarkable things - again - at Audible and I'm not at all surprised! My personal and huge thanks are for the connection you initiated between Audible and the Women's Prize Trust - your sponsorship for the Women's Prize for Fiction and your wonderful support for the Discoveries programme have been transformative for us and for 1000s of women emerging into their creative life. Can't wait to see the next chapter!

9moSusan, I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you and get to know you over these past few years. You are truly one of the most human, respectful and inspiring senior leaders I've ever had the privilege of working with. Your genuine care for your team, passion for the work, and commitment to increasing representation of women in leadership roles has been incredibly motivating.
