Welcome Suban!

We pride ourselves on having a global perspective, writing about international transplants and regional companies engaged in international business. But this is the first time we’ve had a true globetrotter on staff.

Meet Suban Nur Cooley, the Aussie who is taking over as our Innovation editor.

Suban moved here from Canberra in 2006, was born in Switzerland, has lived on four of the seven continents and speaks Somali. She lives in a beautiful house in Lansing's REO Town neighborhood with her husband, Caleb, and their son, who is being prepped for a February 2010 debut.

We’re very excited to have Suban on board. She understands the community and is closely linked to the region’s innovators. If you have any story ideas for Suban or just want to welcome her aboard, please drop her a note here!
