  After earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California and a master's degree in political economy from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he trained under the 2005 Nobel Economics prize winner Tom Schelling, Suh used his economic modeling expertise to enter consulting. "I started doing consulting right at the time when technology was getting hot," he recalls. "My early projects were designing electronic voting systems on mainframes."
Suh focused his early work in systems design for mainframes, then moved to IT strategy. He then specialized in turnaround work for runaway IT projects and spent several years leading turnarounds of major multi million dollar projects. His turnaround work escalated and he was asked by the incoming CEO's of a number of global public companies to lead broader operational turnarounds for their companies. During this period he worked with the chief executives of McDonald's, Avon, and Chrysler. Suh came to Accenture in 2001 to help lead the IT Strategy group and quickly expanded his role to focus on growth and strategy, with an emphasis on technology. "I see my role as looking at the market and where technology can take it, then ensuring Accenture has the capabilities to move our clients and our own business in the right direction." Suh now spends time with Accenture investors, with the venture capital community, with new high growth alliance partners, and leading the firm's global High Performance IT research program and Global CIO Council. Suh lives with his family in Brookline, Massachusetts. |
