Suzanne Ashton

President/Founder, The Performance Group, Emeryville, California

The Performance Group of Northern California plans meetings and incentive travel for Fortune 1000 companies all over the world. President and founder Suzanne Ashton joined Vistage one year ago, and has already experienced significant benefits for her company and in her personal life. At first, Suzanne was concerned that none of her fellow members were in her same industry. After encountering a situation in which one of her long-term clients left her company to work with a competitor, Suzanne discovered how the variety in her group actually gave her a fresh perspective on how to grow her company.
