Suzanne Lettrick
CEO; Director of Culture and People Development
Aligned Learning Corporation; 2K Games
Suzanne Lettrick is the Founder and President of Aligned Learning Corporation. She is also currently Director of a new 2K Games studio in Silicon Valley.
Suzanne has worked with and learned from mavericks and leaders such as Steve Jobs, Neal Baer, Stephen Stills and Soraya Salti. Her time with Queen Noor, Donna Karan, Quincy Jones, David Gergen and other inspirational people motivated her to investigate how each of us can courageously develop our own inner maverick and aligned life.
Initially a journalist, Suzanne began developing her specialty “deep dive learning process” in the ‘90s when assisting Smithsonian folklorists with their research-to-schools program. She applied this anthropological method of learning when hired as private enrichment educator for Steve Jobs’ family in the late 90’s. At the same time, she founded the non-profit company GLEAN and developed over 20 research expeditions for youth to explore topics of interest and wisdom of others living in remote regions of the world. Through this unique work and her work in private practice as researcher, educator and growth management strategist, Suzanne furthered her skill in developing personalized learning programs for adults and youth alike.
In 2010, Suzanne studied neuroscience and psychology in Harvard University's Mind, Brain and Education master's program in order to incorporate the science of learning into her process. With Howard Gardner as her mentor, she focused her thesis on the effect various architectures and spaces (including physical, cyber, virtual, and the real world) have on human physiology and neurology and how this in turn hinders or enhances our ability to learn and process information. Her interests include leadership, global issues, entrepreneurship, innovation, human development, art and design.
She is currently writing a memoir set in Silicon Valley during the mid 1990's.
