Welcome to Portable Power Backup, where engineering expertise meets outdoor passion to deliver reliable, eco-friendly power solutions you can trust.
Meet Susan Cooper – Your Power Solutions Expert
Susan Cooper founded Portable Power Backup with a simple mission: to help people stay powered up wherever life takes them. As a Kansas University graduate with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and 13 years of hands-on experience in the field, Susan brings both technical expertise and real-world understanding to every product recommendation.
Susan’s journey into portable power began not in a boardroom, but around a campfire. As an avid camper and outdoor enthusiast, she experienced firsthand the frustration of dead batteries, silent devices, and the limitations of traditional power sources during her outdoor adventures. These camping experiences sparked her passion for portable power solutions and revealed a gap in the market for truly reliable, user-friendly backup power systems.
From Corporate Leader to Independent Innovator
After climbing the ranks from junior engineer to senior manager in the electrical engineering field, Susan made a bold decision in 2022. She left the corporate world to pursue her true passion as an independent consultant, working with major corporations while dedicating herself to helping everyday consumers navigate the complex world of portable power.
This unique combination of corporate engineering experience and personal outdoor adventures gives Susan an unmatched perspective on what makes a power solution truly effective. She doesn’t just understand the technical specifications – she knows what it’s like to depend on these devices when you’re miles from the nearest outlet.
