Who are we?
Emily Suttle-Braun is a seasoned sales professional with over a decade of experience in business development across diverse industries. Originally from London, England, Emily now resides in the Washington, D.C., metro area and holds a degree in Economics from American University.
Driven by her passion for reproductive justice and galvanized by the 2016 election, Emily transitioned into progressive politics, where she made a significant impact as a digital organizer and fundraiser for Biden for President and NARAL Pro-Choice America. She further honed her expertise in sales leadership during her tenure at EveryAction/NGP VAN, followed by a role at DSPolitical, where she sharpened her digital advertising acumen.
Emily’s diverse experience, combined with her dedication to progressive causes, inspired her to launch Doodle Mom Strategies—a consulting firm committed to providing innovative sales solutions for organizations seeking to create meaningful change.
Let’s Begin
Doodle Mom Strategies was founded on the belief that impactful organizations deserve a sales partner as passionate about their mission as they are.
Born from my personal journey of resilience, this consultancy combines a decade of business development expertise with a deeply human approach to problem-solving.
In 2023 and 2024, I faced life-altering challenges: navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, enduring the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, and prioritizing my health and family as my husband and I began our journey to parenthood. At the same time, I remained committed to my work, honing my business development skills for organizations driving change in politics, advocacy, nonprofit work, social justice, and advertising.
These experiences brought clarity: I needed a way to balance my health and family goals with my passion for helping organizations grow. For high-risk women like me, the traditional full-time career model often doesn’t allow for the flexibility we need. That’s why I created Doodle Mom Strategies—a consulting firm that gives me the freedom to work on my terms while delivering exceptional results for my clients.
At Doodle Mom Strategies, I partner with purpose-driven organizations to build strategic sales pipelines, fundraise effectively, and foster meaningful connections with buyers, donors, and stakeholders. The name honors my two doodles, Ziggy and Chewy, who have been my loyal companions on countless Zoom calls and a source of joy during challenging times.
Beyond delivering results, I’m committed to giving back. As a tribute to the origins of this firm, 1% of all contracts will be donated to Resolve, The National Infertility Association, to support others navigating their own journeys.
If your organization is ready to grow, connect with purpose, and make an impact, I’d love to partner with you. Together, we can achieve more.
