Sue Suh discusses her career journey, which includes undergrad at Princeton, two master’s degrees, the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, The Rockefeller Foundation and now TIME. As the first Chief People Officer at TIME, Sue is focused on culture-building, recruitment, human resources, security, facilities and other operational areas. She talks about how TIME is a “97-year-old start-up” that’s energetically evolving, her belief in courageous and trusted journalism, how inspiring it’s been under new ownership, and the events that they host, including the TIME 100 Summit and Gala. Sue also reflects on how she’s learned to be a positive person from her parents, the different countries and cultures she’s experienced throughout her career, her stint in acting and how she genuinely wakes up every day and pinches herself because she feels so lucky and grateful.
