Susan Elliott

When Susan S. Elliott founded SSE in 1966, she did so in a decade where women leaders were seldom recognized for their contribution in the technology field. Using the expertise and programming knowledge she acquired while working at IBM as an Advisory Systems Engineer, she fostered SSE’s growth into what is today widely recognized as one of the largest IT solutions providers in the St. Louis area.

Susan holds an AB degree from Smith College. She has served as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and on numerous boards of local and national organizations, including as a charter member of the Regional Business Council (RBC), the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association (RCGA), Webster University, the Saint Louis Zoological Foundation and the Visiting Nurse Association. She was an original commissioner on the Missouri Lottery Commission and currently serves on the board of the Saint Louis Science Center. Susan recently authored a book called Across the Divide: Navigating the Digital Revolution as a Woman, Entrepreneur, and CEO.
