Susan Strayer LaMotte

Susan S. LaMotte, got her first W-2 at age 14 and hasn't stopped working or thinking about the way people work ever since. She is the founder and CEO of exaqueo (ex-ack-we-o), a premier employer brand consulting firm and creative agency. A 20+-year human resources veteran, Susan is known for her work in employer brand, candidate and employee experience, and talent acquisition. She has led engagements with organizations including CVS Health, Google, T-Mobile, Lyft, AgFirst, and Dunkin'. Prior to founding exaqueo, she served in several HR leadership roles for The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott International. Susan’s work ethic is spurred by new music, café au laits, and a bit of Philadelphia-born honesty. She lives with her husband and two beach-loving kids in Charleston, South Carolina.
