Solomon speaking in 2016

Susan Lynn Solomon (August 23, 1951 – September 8, 2022) was an American executive and lawyer. She was the chief executive officer and co-founder of The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF).[1]

Early life

Solomon was born in Brooklyn on August 23, 1951.[2] Her father, Seymour Solomon, was the co-founder of Vanguard Records alongside his brother, Maynard;[2][3] her mother, Ruth (Katz), was a pianist and worked as a manager of concert musicians.[2] Solomon attended the Fieldston School. She then studied history at New York University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1975. Three years later, she obtained a Juris Doctor from Rutgers University School of Law,[4] where she was an editor of the Law Review.[5]

Career

Solomon started her career as an attorney at Debevoise & Plimpton,[6] and worked in the legal profession until 1981.[2] She subsequently held executive positions at MacAndrews & Forbes and APAX (formerly MMG Patricof and Co.). She was the founder and President of Sony Worldwide Networks,[7] the Chairman and CEO of Lancit Media Productions,[2] an Emmy award-winning television production company, and then served as the founding CEO of Sotheby's website[8] prior to founding her own strategic management consulting firm Solomon Partners LLC in 2000.[2]

Solomon was a founding Board member of the Global Alliance for iPSC Therapies (GAiT) and New Yorkers for the Advancement of Medical Research (NYAMR). She served on the Board of the College Diabetes Network[9] and is an emeritus Board member for the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine. She also served on the Board of Directors of the Regional Plan Association of New York,[10] where she was a member of the nominating and governance committee. She previously sat on the strategic planning committee for the Empire State Stem Cell Board.[11]

Leadership of New York Stem Cell Foundation

Main article: New York Stem Cell Foundation

Solomon co-founded The New York Stem Cell Foundation in 2005. She had earlier started work as a health-care advocate in 1992, when her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.[12] As a result of her son's diagnosis and then her mother's death from cancer in 2004, she sought to find a way in which the most advanced medical research could translate more quickly into cures. In conversations with clinicians and scientists, Solomon identified stem cells as the most promising way to address unmet patient needs.[13]

At the time of her death, NYSCF was one of the biggest nonprofits dedicated to stem cell research, employing 45 scientists at their Research Institute in Manhattan and funding an additional 75 scientists around the world.[14]

Personal life

Solomon married her first husband, Gary Hirsh, in 1968. Together, they had one son, Adam. They eventually divorced. She later married Paul Goldberger in 1980. They remained married until her death, and had two children.[2]

Solomon died on September 8, 2022, at her home in Amagansett, New York. She was 71, and suffered from ovarian cancer prior to her death.[2]
