ABOUT DR. ROZ
I am Roz Cohen, Ph.D., an Inclusion Strategist and Thought Partner passionately committed to building radically connected cultures. With over two decades of experience in the HR field, I have developed a wealth of knowledge through my diverse roles in esteemed organizations and my academic research endeavors. As the founder of Socius Strategies, a San Francisco-based inclusion and strategy practice, I specialize in creating cultures of inclusion, connection, and belonging. My dissertation from the Leadership and Change Ph.D. program at Antioch University focuses on the impact of inclusive leadership on employee engagement and organizational success, which informs my practical approach with clients—blending research-backed insights with a touch of humor.
In addition to fostering inclusion and belonging, I provide external HR support, helping organizations align their culture with their operations. I am also a public speaker, sharing the importance of creating connected cultures wherever I go. My work is about bringing realness and radical connection to the forefront, believing in the transformative power of vulnerability, acceptance, and relationships rooted in courage. As a board member, mom of two hilarious teens, foodie, and travel enthusiast, I bring a well-rounded perspective to everything I do, aiming to change the world one connection at a time.
