Orlando, Fla.– Change consultancy Curium US has appointed leadership, change and performance improvement specialist Suzan Hochstetler as a senior consultant. Suzan joins the Curium team based in Orlando, Fla. and will work with customers across North America.
“Suzan is passionate about helping individuals reach their full potential and providing strategic guidance to companies, so they can be more productive and profitable,” said Dan Entwistle, Curium US president. “She has a unique perspective on effective business operations strategies and insight on developing strong and successful leaders.”
Hochstetler brings more than 25 years of experience working with global brands including The Walt Disney Company, Hard Rock Cafe, Tupperware Brands and Toys “R” Us.

“Opening in the US has been a great move. Customers are responding to our focus on empowering potential, with individuals and organizations hugely enthusiastic about improving performance and developing their capabilities,” Entwistle said. “We’ve gone from strength to strength, winning new customers, expanding into Canada and growing the team.”
