AmCham EU CEO receives Lifetime Achievement Award

AmCham EU is delighted to announce that Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award yesterday at AmCham EU’s annual Gala evening. The award formally recognises Susan’s achievements over the course of her tenure at the helm of the organisation. She has been the voice of the American business community in Brussels in service of the member companies of AmCham EU. Susan demonstrated an unwavering commitment to European integration, and in particular the Single Market.

Her outstanding leadership, diplomatic skills and personal efforts were instrumental in advancing transatlantic cooperation.

Susan announced earlier this year that she will step down from her position this autumn. She joined AmCham EU in 1995 as Communications Manager. Since 2002, she has been leading the organisation as Managing Director and, since 2016, as CEO. She also held the position of Chair of AmChams in Europe, the umbrella organisation for 49 American Chambers of Commerce, from 2020 to 2023. Susan was named by POLITICO as one of the top 20 women influencers in Brussels in 2016 and 2020.
