Susan L. Combs

Susan L. Combs is the founder and President of Combs & Company, a full-service insurance brokerage firm based in New York City in 2005 at the age of twenty-six with a drive to “Do More, Better," and the founder of the non-profit Pancakes for Roger.  She is The Youngest National President of Women in Insurance & Financial Services (WIFS) in the over 80 year history of the organization, one of the coveted “4 Under 40” by Advisor Today for 2015 and one of the “Women of Influence” by New York Business Journal for 2016.

Combs is 'a Missouri girl in a New York world,' and it’s the lessons she learned during her Midwestern upbringing and two-plus decades in New York City that are the basis of her best-selling book, "Pancakes for Roger: A Mentorship Guide for Slaying Dragons." The insights contained in these pages come from family, friends, colleagues, and life in general. But the most important teachings are from her late father. It was his steady guidance in life that set Combs’s foundation and it was his passing that inspired her new non-profit Pancakes for Roger.

When Combs is not running her business or trying to help others through their own challenges, you can find her flipping tires at her beloved CrossFit gym, supporting the Missouri Tigers, KC Chiefs, and Royals, or slaying the dragons that have come her way.
