About Susana Tello Pozo

Used to work closely with senior officials and C-level business executives over the last decade, Susana Tello owns a broad know-how in the field of communication, which spans from the very on-the-ground of news-making and broadcasting (mainly as an international journalist and a war reporter in her early professional years) to outlining media strategies for political campaigns as a Chief Communication Officer of several governmental departments. From late 2013, she has applied her extensive knowledge of politics and the media to devise lobby plans, manage corporate diplomacy and gather geopolitical intelligence for a fast-growing multinational corporation in the automotive industry, where she has been driving the Public Affairs strategy at the CEO office throughout a worldwide footprint of more than 20 countries. Currently, she runs the Corporate Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs department at the company’s North American Division (US & Mexico). Excellent writing and public speaking skills in Spanish (native) and English (C2) are the common thread linking Susana’s profile as a resourceful storyteller with a wide international background, supported by a relentlessly enhanced educational record on global affairs and international politics and a personal commitment to progressively acquire a five-languages proficiency level (Italian, C1; French, B2; and Arabic, A2). She is able to cope resiliently with stress and work efficiently to tight deadlines, having developed multi-task abilities to perform steadily under heavy workloads while keeping high-quality standards. Pleased to operate cooperatively across organizational boundaries, Susana is eager to put herself to the test of new challenging assignments. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Journalism, post-graduate diplomas in International Reporting and Human Rights, and two Master of Arts in International Relations and International Law, in addition to a specialized learning and a large working experience on European Union affairs.
