Suzanne Eden

Suzanne brings both strategic discipline and a genuine appreciation for the voices and experiences of the communities her clients serve. She helps organizations clarify their vision, build compelling cases for support, and design structures that enable sustained philanthropic momentum. Her work spans early planning studies to large-scale campaigns, each guided by thoughtful partnership and a belief in the power of well-aligned teams. 

A defining moment in Suzanne’s journey came during her MBA at NYU Stern, when she discovered her calling in strengthening nonprofit infrastructure through capital and capacity-building efforts. That insight continues to shape her career, informing an approach that blends data, creativity, and deep mission alignment. 

Suzanne’s leadership extends beyond her role as Partner at CCS. She serves on the Board of Directors and co-chairs the DEIB and Culture Committee, where she helps advance an inclusive and values-driven workplace. She also contributes to the firm’s 401(k) Committee and Health Sector Advisory Committee, supporting long-term organizational strategy. 

She earned her BA from Duke University’s Trinity College of Arts & Sciences and her MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business. Suzanne lives in Manhattan with her husband, Jon, and their three children. Outside of her client work, she finds joy in crafts and cooking with her kids, gardening with native plants, and diving into DIY home projects.
