About Suyin Copley

As a leader in HR for a Fortune 100 company, I have gained extensive experience across various industries, developing strategies, building teams, and fostering cultures that drive business success. My expertise in cognitive and behavioral science, combined with innovative technology and Lean systems, has been crucial to my achievements. I thrive on new challenges and excel in guiding organizations through periods of change.Recently, I optimized processes using value stream mapping and technology to enhance collaboration and role clarity, delivering timely and high-quality results for top leaders. At GE, I led two significant government compliance-related restructuring efforts as the Executive HR Business Partner for GE Aerospace’s Edison Works. In previous roles at GE, I revitalized the talent program for the Military Systems group, facilitated a business transition during a headquarters move and leadership changes, and managed a multi-year FDA-mandated shutdown of a GE Healthcare business.Throughout my career, I have prioritized talent development and empowered future leaders. I use a framework that emphasizes intellectual diversity, inclusion, self-awareness, values, and growth priorities to unlock potential. Looking ahead, I am focused on opportunities where I can leverage my business experience, passion for cognitive science, learning, collaboration skills, and coaching abilities to help individuals and teams grow and succeed.
