Susan Brissette

After 25 years in the nuclear sector in the UK and Canada, Susan founded Wild Matriarch, a boutique consultancy in the “trust and confidence” business. She understands the safety and regulatory imperatives of nuclear and high-reliability industries, where social license is crucial to success, and brings together a team of expert collaborators, many of whom are women-owned or Indigenous-owned businesses providing complimentary services to expand Wild Matriarch’s offerings. Her expertise includes bridging the gap between technical and societal considerations crucial for project success through strategic advice and implementation on safety culture, engagement with diverse audiences, management system development, change management and leader & team performance. Susan was the founder and first president of Women in Nuclear Canada and currently serves on the Board of the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries.
