Susan Pimento is a highly credible voice in Canada on modern retirement strategies. With over 30 years of senior leadership in banking and frontline lending—including serving as Vice President at a Schedule I bank—she now advises financial institutions and policymakers on how to modernize retirement solutions and engage Canada's fastest-growing, wealthiest demographic: adults 55+.
As the founder of Retire with Equity, she provides retirement intelligence and research that influence how Canada's financial sector addresses its fastest-growing demographic. In Your Retirement Reset: How to Convert Home Equity into Financial Security (ECW Press, September 2026), she explores how home equity can be strategically converted into strategic retirement income—challenging an industry that has long overlooked Canadians' largest asset and arguing it should be part of every retirement conversation and product development.
A sought-after speaker and Second City–trained presenter, Sue delivers data-driven, highly relatable keynotes that turn financial complexity into clarity—and sometimes laughter. Her "Hip, Fit & Financially Free" philosophy redefines thriving after 65 by blending health, wealth, and purpose into a practical vision of retirement readiness.
Currently pursuing her MBA at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business, Sue continues shaping the future of retirement through research, advocacy, and strategic consulting—demonstrating that reinvention has no expiry date.
