Sue Esposito

President

Sue Esposito directs and Sueoversees all aspects of the general operations of Global Equipment Network, Inc., a company first started by her husband, Jarrod Esposito. She managed two offices during the eight years prior to moving to New York.  The first was a large manufacturing company located in Tampa, Florida and the second, an Architectural firm in Boca Raton.  Using due diligence and learning through both experiences gave her incredible insight for her ultimate challenge, Global.

More than just an entrepreneur and business woman, Sue is a wish mom, volunteer and current board member with the Hudson Chapter of Make A Wish. Giving back has become something very important to Sue and a main reason for beginning this foundation.  The other reason is the true courage she has witnessed of her oldest child and the wish to give back to those who have helped them in their community.  Sue lives in Blauvelt, with her husband and three children, Jordan, Justin & Darien.
