About me / About business or organisation:

Susanna Schick has worked in product development for some of the top fashion designers in New York and Los Angeles. Ms. Schick always remained true to her north star goal- to deliver the greatest good for the greatest number, while also finding creative and intellectual fulfillment in her work. Thus, she shared her expertise with her students at Parsons School of Design while also completing projects from multiple avant-garde designers desperately preparing for Fashion Week each season.
When apparel product development ceased to be adequately challenging, she pursued an MBA focused on sustainability. The intersection between preserving Earth’s finite resources and promoting more meaningful consumption is where her passion lies. Ms. Schick is spent the summer with Virgance in San Francisco, helping them develop and scale Carrotmob, an exciting new form of consumer activism. This Fall, she is launching a sustainability consultancy catering to the Los Angeles fashion industry.
As a student at Kenan-Flagler Business School, Ms. Schick conceived and developed a global strategy for a non-profit client that enables them to remain true to their mission and profit from a new revenue stream. This was in addition to the actual assignment, which was to develop a marketing and pricing strategy for a developed country. In her summer internship, she channeled a very unfocused start-up into the market niche most likely to buy what they want to sell, and she actually convinced them to start small and specific. When she’s not dreaming up innovative ways to solve the world’s problems, Ms. Schick can be found using her talent for strategy in darting through traffic on her motorcycle, either in the city, nearby canyons or on the racetrack.
