Suz Grossman has been with Carousel for over a decade, driving its growth as executive producer. She oversees strategy, creative development, production, and post-production for clients like PepsiCo, Ticketmaster, Victoria's Secret, Neutrogena, and more. Her work also spans into other facets of the production world such as docu-series, short films, print, and her own documentary feature, Butterfly Girl, which premiered at SXSW. Suz calls Brooklyn home but spends her free time traveling the world.
