Your leadership team

Susannah joined Rubric in 1997 and has spearheaded the growth of our production team. She has always enjoyed change and relishes opportunities to learn something new in order to improve what we do - whether that is technology, business processes or marketing. She really appreciates the opportunity to learn about our clients' businesses and to help them with their content and business challenges. When not overseeing work at Rubric, Susannah enjoys being outside walking with her dogs.

Dominic has over 25 years of international IT experience working in countries from Amsterdam to Zurich. His superpower is getting systems to talk nicely to each other. We go to him for advice on streamlining clients' digital handoffs, information security, and reducing admin effort through automation. Dom's early career in IT support gave him his unique patience and user-centric approach. When not integrating systems, he enjoys spending time in his garden. He'll tell you anything you want to know about ponds!
