Susan Joy is a regenerative strategist, brand advisor, and founder of The Golden Glue. With over two decades of experience across fashion, media, and brand consulting and a Master's in Business for Social Impact and Sustainability, she brings a unique blend of high-level strategic vision and hands-on implementation expertise.
A catalyst for systemic transformation, Susan advised designers in the CFDA Fashion Incubator Program, contributed to the New York Times for a decade, and serves on multiple sustainability and policy committees. She's equally at home strategizing with C-suite executives, collaborating with design teams, or getting her hands dirty in her Brooklyn community garden, bringing regenerative principles to life through every engagement.
Her work exemplifies the power of connecting seemingly disparate elements - business and ecology, innovation and indigenous wisdom, profit and purpose - to create something more beautiful and resilient than before.

The Golden Glue
Our Story
The Golden Glue was founded on a deep recognition of what's broken in our business systems - and the tremendous potential that lies within those fractures. Like kintsugi masters who repair broken pottery with gold, we believe business can be mended and made more beautiful through care, connection, and purpose. When we lead with heart and expand our circle of care, we can transform broken systems into something more valuable than before.
The Golden Glue guides organizations beyond conventional sustainability toward approaches that restore ecosystems, build resilient communities, and create enduring value. Through deep understanding, authentic relationships, and genuine collaboration, we help teams discover and activate their regenerative potential to create the more beautiful tomorrow we all long for.
