Where is Suzanne from?
Suzanne was born in Dublin on October 22 in 1984, making her 38 years old. She grew up in Skerries. Her parents are Damien and Susan Jackson and she has three siblings - Carla, Katie and Robert.
When did she become an entrepreneur?
Her to success actually started when she lost her job in HR during the recession. When she got a part time job as a receptionist for 98fm, where she got to meet celebrities like One Direction and Ollie Murs, she thought it would be fun to write about her encounters with them.
As her writing proved successful, Suzanne left her job at 98fm and in the same week signed a deal for her new book, SoSueMe Secrets to Fashion, Beauty and Blogging, which was a sellout success.
The blog was nothing short of a roaring success and with Suzanne moving into the realm of beauty and fashion, the Skerries native began collaborating with such as Rimmel, Lipsy, L’Oreal, Lancome, Primark and Pretty Little Thing before establishing SoSu by Suzanne Jackson.
She is now the proud owner of what one might describe as an empire and has even taken up a presenting role at RTE, hosting The Style Counsellors, a show that gives guests wardrobe makeovers from the blogger-turned-business owner.
SoSu by Suzanne Jackson stocks a wide range of beauty products such as fake tan, contour palettes, highlighter kits, lashes, nails, eye makeup and accessories such as makeup brushes and sponges. Despite only being five years old, the brand is stocked by an impressive list of large retailers including Beauty Bay, Dunnes Stores, Misguided, Pretty Little Thing, Primark and Tesco.
Earlier this year, Suzanne stepped down as CEO of SoSu Cosmetics and Dripping Gold brand, handing over the role to Caroline Dalton.
Who is Suzanne married to?
Suzanne married hubby Dylan O’Connor in 2017 when she donned a stunning dress designed by Hayley Paige which featured a daring plunging neckline and a gorgeous lace veil.
The couple moved into a stunning mansion in Skerries back in 2018, worth an incredible €1.8million.
