Susanne Le Boutillier is a leadership advisor and former senior health executive with more than 30 years’ experience working in complex, high-risk systems where accountability and delivery matter.

Today, Susanne works with executive teams and boards to keep decisions moving
and delivery on track when conditions won’t stay still. She has led large-scale reform inside Australia’s health system, including heading the transition office responsible for restructuring a $10 billion public health organisation into 17 independent entities with a workforce of more than 80,000 staff.

Her work has spanned system reform, workforce and service redesign, stakeholder negotiation, and executive decision-making in environments shaped by public accountability and regulatory complexity. Susanne brings a practical understanding of what it takes to align clinical governance, workplace health and safety, and operational leadership so decisions
translate into delivery, not rework.

She has worked closely with executives, clinicians, unions, and boards to align governance, workforce, and operational priorities in high-pressure environments where outcomes matter. Her work focuses on strengthening judgement, alignment, and follow-through in complex environments where pressure is high, priorities shift, and decisions need to hold beyond the meeting room.

She is the author of Centred: How to Lead with Confidence in Times of Complex Change and is known for her calm authority, sharp judgement, and ability to hold constructive conversations in complex, pressured environments.
