Suzy Barnes

CEO , Diva

I started out in music journalism, before my agency career in PR. I co-founded creative agency Diva, with my business partner and OH in 2007. 

 Founders are often generalists, occupying multiple roles as you build a team. I’ve worn the hats of business development director, client services director, people & hr director, creative director, and chairman. In April 2021 I stepped into my latest role, as CEO. I’ve delivered 50% growth in my first year at the helm, and assembled a world class board and executive leadership team, to ready the business for our next phase of growth.
