Susan Lammers

Susan Lammers is an award-winning writer, entrepreneur, and pioneer in digital multimedia. In 1985, with Microsoft a company of just 160 programmers, she wrote Programmers at Work, a landmark book that brought to the fore the world's first intimate portraits of the technical visionaries igniting the PC revolution.

Shortly after joining Microsoft, Lammers was tapped to spearhead the early ventures in interactive new media, serving as head of the Consumer Multimedia Division. There she led research and development of the company's first digital encyclopedia, later named Encarta, along with a host of other groundbreaking CD-ROM titles and new media initiatives.

In 1993, Lammers founded Headbone Interactive, a venture-backed children's new media company that produced award-winning CD-ROM games, an internet destination, and animated television programming. Today, with the popularity of retro gaming, Lammers is working with a dedicated team to relaunch the Headbone Interactive games on STEAM.

Lammers is a graduate of Stanford University. She lives in Seattle, Washington, with her family.
