About US
Who We Are
Mueller Consulting Group is an international advisory boutique, with offices in the US and Germany, at the intersection of AI governance, M&A strategy, and cross-border dealmaking. Founded by Suzanne Mueller, former Chief Legal Officer for multiple U.S. airlines, the firm brings more than 25 years of board-level experience in high-stakes negotiations, regulatory navigation, and corporate governance.
We help CEOs, boards, private equity partners, and general counsel cut through AI hype and risk. Our proprietary AURA™ Governance Framework (AI Utility Risk Alignment) equips leadership teams to evaluate, implement, and retire AI responsibly—anchoring enterprise value, regulatory readiness, and ethical integrity.
Our work spans AI-driven M&A valuations, ISO/IEC 42001 alignment, governance design, and international risk strategy, with a track record of guiding clients through industries where failure is not an option—aviation, infrastructure, energy, and technology.
At Mueller Consulting Group, we believe in Ethics with Abundance: governance that protects people, drives growth, and positions organizations to lead confidently in a world shaped by AI.
And of course , we are guided by our mischievous (but ALWAYS ethical) Chief Morale Dragon, EZ. EZ is clever and sharp and reminds us always to remain curious in all we do.
WHO OUR FOUNDER IS
Suzanne (Suz) Mueller is a distinguished expert in AI ethics, with deep experience designing ethical governance frameworks and advising organizations on the responsible integration of artificial intelligence. Her background includes over 25 years in senior legal and corporate advisory roles, as well as a strong focus on practical implementation in critical sectors.
Suz founded Mueller Consulting Group LLC, where she pioneered custom AI governance programs that address the unique risks and values of AI adoption, especially in sectors like aviation, infrastructure, healthcare, energy, and technology.
Through her proprietary AURA™ Governance Framework (AI Utility Risk Alignment), she helps CEOs, boards, and private equity leaders to evaluate, implement, and retire AI systems in a way that anchors enterprise value and regulatory compliance with high ethical standards. This work bridges complex regulatory demands (e.g., ISO/IEC 42001) and best practices in responsible technology use.
Her AI ethics work is international, covering both U.S. and European regulatory landscapes. Suz’s advisory focus also extends to guiding cross-border M&A transactions with AI-driven due diligence, ensuring that companies integrate fairness, transparency, and risk mitigation into dealmaking and ongoing operations.
As an AI ethicist, she is recognized for translating abstract ethical principles into board-ready, actionable guidance for leadership teams.
Philosophy and Approach
Suz’s approach, described as "Ethics with Abundance," stresses that ethical governance should support organizational growth, leadership confidence, and human-centric protections. She is an active thought leader, writing and speaking about topics including regulatory alignment, AI policy, and operationalizing ethical AI at scale.
