Since 2020, Suzie Dawson has emerged as the founding technologist and visionary behind Panquake, designing solutions, products and services that are helping to transform the Web3 social media space, in order to positively impact our collective digital future. Suzie has more than 20 years commercial tech experience and works with some of the world's top cybersecurity and privacy-focused developers and personalities.

She presently serves as Panquake Managing Director and CPO, overseeing dozens of staff in ten countries across multiple time zones.

Between 2011 and 2019, Suzie was primarily known as a journalist, activist and influencer. She worked on a series of social campaigns, covered more than 50 live events in New Zealand and interviewed a who's-who of NZ politics, activism and media.

Suzie's long-form journalism enjoyed a large reach, with individual articles achieving up to 250,000+ hits. Among other noteworthy figures, her work was consistently shared by WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, between 2014-2019, and he promoted her work right up until his eventual arrest in the UK.

Additionally, Suzie studied thousands of Snowden files live online uncovering unique finding. She is one of few journalists and activists with an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of state-level abuses of technology and surveillance in violation of our human rights.

This knowledge has been brought to bear in her subsequent creation of Panquake, a new and more ethical social media product. Backed by a viral, organic and grassroots campaign, Panquake has achieved over 3 million hits to date.
