suggester

One who recommends

A suggester is someone who suggests—offers ideas, proposals, or possibilities for consideration.

The word appears in contexts where multiple people contribute ideas: The suggester of the winning slogan received a prize.

It's functional but unremarkable, often replaced by phrases like "the person who suggested."
