Susan Lee has built a career as a Human Resources executive at successful startups such as Spotify and Warby Parker. Her biggest job takeaway: people are all, for the most part, ridiculous. And she channels this into her writing of light-hearted, quirky novels about the oftentimes hilarious human condition…with kissing. Susan is a 2018 PitchWars alum, a 2019 & 2020 mentor, and currently serves on the PitchWars committee. When she’s not writing, she’s glued to the newest k-drama with her 2 chihuahuas, Bear & Buttercup. Her bias is Taehyung (V), and for those in the know, that will likely explain more about her than the rest of this bio.
