“Susan’s research and ability to translate her knowledge and insights into practical tactics have benefited thousands of business professionals across a wide range of industries.”


H. Brausen, Senior Director of Client Experience

“How I wish I had Master the Matrix when I started working in global firms! All too often, leaders simply acknowledge the organization is matrixed but offer no real help to those new to matrixed organizations, let alone the practical steps for not only navigating but mastering the matrix as Susan Finerty provides.” 


D. George, Senior Executive, Founder
