Susan Laine spent more than 20 years as an investment banker with prestigious firms including Citicorp Investment Bank, AIG Trading and AIG Risk Finance, advising  senior finance executives in Fortune 500 companies on managing financial risk.  She has written a number of articles and spoken to many groups ranging from the CFO Conference to the Treasury Management Association on risk management analysis and techniques.  Her clients included CFOs and Treasurers of companies including: Nike, Amgen, Disney and IBM.

Susan was instrumental in creating various new hedging solutions such as combining traditional insurance lines with other financial products to create a macro risk management program which conformed with existing accounting pronouncements and limited total annual losses to a percentage of revenue.

After retiring from that field, she took over the reins of a family-owned business and prepared her parents for their own exit plan.

Susan earned her B.A. with academic honors from Pomona College and her M.B.A. in Finance from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
