Social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion…while for Rosalind they began with the Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedek (seeking justice), they have moved beyond her practice into all aspects of her personal and professional life. She incorporated these values into the recruiting, hiring, and retention processes she developed to provide access to jobs in financial services for underrepresented groups. They fold into her inclusive leadership style, which gives voice and opportunity to all members of her teams. It is deeply founded social justice while she pursues a Ph.D. from Antioch University focusing on how leadership style can develop, support, and sustain a diverse employee population.

She is currently at Global Asset Capital as Head of Talent and Workplace Connectivity, responsible for the global talent initiative as well as the operational and cultural connectivity of the organization.
