OUR
PEOPLE
The success of PRISM is our people…. introducing the senior team.
SUSAN A. CONNER, FCAPresident and Chief Executive Officer
Championing
creativity as a catalyst for transformational change is Susan’s
signature. A progressive healthcare and real estate executive, she has
picked up the gauntlet throughout her career to challenge the status
quo, and has played a pivotal role in implementing leading-edge
business and organizational change in Canada and the United States.
Susan is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of PRISM
Partners Inc. a for-profit corporation offering remarkably bold new
approaches that meet facility redevelopment challenges head on. This
innovative new organization offers expertise through a full suite of
Project Management and Consulting Services for Public-Sector
Organizations; predominantly, in the health-related field.
At
PRISM Partners Inc., Susan leads and inspires a dynamic team of
professionals that excel in their understanding of the complexities
involved in large-scale capital redevelopment projects. Energized by
Susan’s passion to employ radical new approaches in financing,
construction and design of renewal projects, and unified by her zeal
for creativity, together they offer out-of-the-box thinking combined
with proven strategies to deliver results to organizations undergoing
major redevelopment projects, on-time and on-budget. Currently, PRISM
is engaged in client assignments in Ontario, Canada and the UK with a
combined project value in excess of $2.2 billion.
Prior to
assuming her leadership role with PRISM Partners Inc., Susan was the
Vice President of Real Estate Solutions for UHN. Over a fifteen-year
period, she managed $1 billion in hospital redevelopment projects,
including Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital, and most recently the
groundbreaking $600 million UHN redevelopment, the largest, boldest and
most challenging project of its kind in Canadian history. Spearheaded
by Susan, this six year, multifaceted redevelopment successfully
integrated three of Toronto’s leading hospitals as well as research
facilities, and was completed in 2005 on time and under-budget. The
brilliantly executed project was a watershed event, and marked many
firsts for hospitals in Canada, including two public/private sector
partnerships that took an unprecedented approach to securing capital
market financing in a short period of time.
Susan puts her
formidable creativity and passion to make a difference to work through
her involvement with not-for-profit organizations; most notably, the
Board of Directors for CARE Canada, CARE International and Partnerships
British Columbia.
