Co-Chief Executive Officer Of HOK
When Susan Klumpp Williams began her career at HOK in 1985, she couldn’t have known how deeply she’d shape the firm and the buildings that shape our cities. Nearly four decades later, she carries forward that early spark into some of the world’s most significant architecture. Susan has taken an active role in HOK’s Diversity Advisory Council, making sure that inclusion isn’t just talked about, but measured and tracked. She says that ignoring half the potential talent pool isn’t just unfair, it erodes creativity. So she mentors, champions, and tries to open doors for younger women, especially those who might be tempted to quit before getting started.
