Susan Coelius Keplinger is a tour de force in the realm of performance marketing. She is the founder of Force of Nature, a premier performance marketing and PE firm, laser-focused on transforming businesses through the potent amalgamation of data-driven strategies and compelling storytelling. A performance marketing rockstar at heart, Susan champions the power of data as the critical compass guiding businesses through today's complex marketing landscape.

Her success stories span globally recognized brands such as Ring, Molekule, and Gibson, where her data-driven methodologies have consistently delivered transformative results. But Susan is much more than her professional achievements. She is a mother of two, Iver and Aysa, and an unapologetic adrenaline enthusiast. When she isn't revolutionizing marketing stacks, you'll find her harnessing the forces of nature in her extreme sports pursuits. Downhill mountain biking, skiing, and kitesurfing are her sports of choice, with her dual residences in Lake Tahoe and Maui providing the perfect playgrounds. Susan's tenacity was evident early on. As a D1 soccer player at Northwestern University, she set a precedent for her unyielding pursuit of excellence.

Prior to Force of Nature, Susan founded Triggit, an ad technology company instrumental in helping industry giants like Booking.com, Home Depot, and Walmart leverage customer data for personalized ad campaigns. Following the successful acquisition of Triggit by Gravity4 in 2015, Susan co-founded Votes For Students, a non-profit organization dedicated to utilizing internet and email marketing for effective Get-out-the-Vote campaigns. In Susan, you find a rare blend of analytical prowess, creative flair, fearless athleticism, and entrepreneurial spirit. She stands as a living testament to the notion that life, like marketing, is a beautiful game of balancing data-driven strategy with a compelling story.
