Testimonials
As a senior leader new to a DEI role, charged with creating a DEI strategy, I engaged Rose for executive coaching and organizational consulting. She has been instrumental in my development as well as that of our company’s DEI path forward. We started from scratch, but Rose quickly helped us establish priorities, was hands-on at every step, and created a comprehensive framework that will guide us for years to come.
DEI Leader, Fintech Company
Rose is a truly inspiring, energetic and insightful leader who is passionate about creating workplaces that drive productivity, innovation, inclusiveness and diverse thought. She is well networked and supportive, but with a direct style that keeps people accountable and challenges them to strive for bigger goals. Commercially savvy, she makes strong linkages between diverse teams and business imperatives that land well at the Board level.
Robyn Dittrich, VP, Technology and Innovation Procurement, BHP
I worked with Rose for nearly three years whilst I was President of two different divisions within S&P Global. We had a great deal of engagement since I am passionate about Diversity and Inclusion and she is wonderful at energising everyone through the firm. She educated me, she guided me and she skillfully harnessed my enthusiasm into action and results. She is committed, knowledgeable and tireless. She is able to connect and communicate up, down and sideways within an organisation - always to great effect. It truly was a delight to work with Rose. I came away a better leader as a result.

Rose is a true visionary. She has bold, new ideas and is incredibly pragmatic in creating a strategic plan for feasibly translating a vision into reality.
Eleanor Nordholm, Esq., Former Director of Major Philanthropy, St. Francis College
Rose has a passion and ability to assess needs and offer authentic solutions. She adds tremendous value in ensuring input and buy-in from everyone in the room. You won’t find a more dedicated, observant or prepared professional to guide the way.
Nikki LaFaye, Director of Philanthropy, Carver Foundation
I have seen Rose speak a number of times but one occasion that comes first to mind is a talk she gave for about 25 senior leaders from West Point and S&P colleagues at a joint Leadership Exchange. Rose gave an eloquent and lesson-filled talk on growing an organization’s DEI capabilities, finding your niche and managing change. Using her career path as a foundation, Rose’s talk was energizing and powerful. She speaks from the heart and experience – an outstanding combination.
Robert Schulz, CFA, Managing Director, Sector Lead, Leveraged Finance, S&P Global Ratings
Rose is such an active listener, and is able to tie in her own experiences, personal and professional, to relate to situations seamlessly. She has impacted my life significantly and is one of the few people I can be transparent with without being judged. She is an AMAZING Mentor!
