Susie Sullivan
,
Harmonix Founder
A native of Page, Arizona, Susie grew up in an entrepreneurial family. Her interest in helping small business owners came from working in her dad’s boat shop and other small businesses around town. Susie realized her facility with numbers was a skill she could share to help others discover how they could grow and operate with greater ease. Susie furthered her interest in finance by earning a BS in Accounting from Portland State University.
Contrary to the dry accountant stereotype (Not us!), Susie has a strong creative spirit. An experienced pianist, instructor and vocalist, she's also a certified yoga instructor and an aviation science enthusiast. She is passionate about environmental conservation and avian welfare and dedicates every Monday to volunteering in Bird Alliance of Oregon's Wildlife Care Center.
As an extension of her work with Harmonix, Susie works directly with environmental and avian-conservation focused organizations and serves on the board of directors for Bird Alliance of Oregon, The International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council, and Exotic Bird Rescue of Oregon.
When not spending time with her husband Austin and two parrots Sammie and Pippin, she snowboards at Mount Hood and dances as much as humanly possible.

Giving Back
Time: The Biggest Investment of All
We invest our time in entities we truly believe in. Susie serves as the treasurer for Exotic Bird Rescue of Oregon (EBR) and the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (IWRC). She fosters exotic birds through EBR and volunteers weekly with Portland Audubon's Wildlife Care Center, where you’ll find Harmonix listed among the organization’s Business Alliance. To keep it nerdy, Susie supports budding accounting students within Portland Aerospace Society, a student-run group of future aerospace engineers who build ultra-low-cost, open source rockets with sophisticated rocket avionics systems. (Told you we aren't boring!)
