SUZANNE WEST
PRESIDENT & CEO
IMAGINEA ENERGY
Say, “Yes it could be possible,” before you say,
“No I don’t think it will work.”
Engineer turned serial entrepreneur!
While in her early thirties, Suzanne started her first energy company – and she has never looked back. She has seen tremendous success through developing five oil and gas companies; Touchstone Petroleum, Chariot Energy, Auriga Energy, Black Shire Energy, and her latest passion – Imaginea Energy.
Suzanne’s philosophy and leadership triumphs culminated in the sale of her last company, Black Shire Energy which, sold for $358 million in 2014.
Known to be bold, and to some…a little ‘crazy’ (the good kind), Suzanne’s credentials and reputation back her success. She faces the world head-on and certainly isn’t one to fear a mega-challenge!
The inspiration for Imaginea Energy, her present company and arguably her greatest venture, unfolds through her many interviews, speaking engagements and TV appearances.

At Work
At the heart of Suzanne’s story is the need for humans to change how they interact with the planet, and each other. Appreciating that actions speak louder than words, she founded Imaginea Energy as a means to put boots to the ground and actually implement, herself, the changes she talks about and inspires in others. Suzanne West intends to be the example, proving to the energy industry that there is a “new way of doing business”.
Suzanne West’s journey of awakening and discovery is inspiring, but it has only just begun. Through Imaginea Energy her story continues to unfold!
