Website of Susan E.B. Schwartz, who writes about adventure, business, and adventures in the business of life.
An unusual writing specialty, perhaps.
But it reflects Susan's unusual set of experiences in the outdoors (rock climbing, North Atlantic shipwreck divemaster, certified cavern diver) and in her corporate career (financial services executive search and biotech venture capital).
A contributor to Climbing Magazine, Crain's, Outside, American Banker, Rock and Ice, Runner's World and Harvard Magazine, Susan writes about topics such as climbing, economic cycles, alpinism, insurance products, fitness, financial services trends, mountain epics, and capital markets.
A member of the Literary Board of the American Alpine Club and a partner to the President's Council on Physical Fitness, Susan has been interviewed by the New York Times for its Business Section and by the Boston Globe for a front page article, and also appears in a New York Times "Executive Pursuits" website video (which ran on JetBlue inflight videos).
Susan's first book, Into the Unknown: The Remarkable Life of Hans Kraus, was a finalist at the Banff Mountain Book Competition, won the 2006 Eric Hoffer and Writers Notes Award, and became a front page story for the Boston Globe.
