Action now is better than never. This is especially true in the DEI space. When it comes to DEI, we can start driving change with more education, access to opportunities, and the creation of systematic changes. But all of this starts with a step in the right direction. Rosa Nunez believes that it's never too late to do the right thing. Rosa is Foley Hoag's Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. She is responsible for developing, implementing, leading and championing proactive diversity and inclusion initiatives and programs, in alignment with Foley Hoag's overall strategic plans. Rosa is also co-chair the firm’s Diversity Committee. Rosa's initiatives are centered around recruitment, learning and development, engagement, retention and external positioning. Rosa has over 15 years of experience specializing in workplace diversity and inclusion, employee engagement, workplace culture and community outreach programs. Most recently, she worked at BCW Global - Burson Cohn & Wolfe in New York as the SVP, Senior Director, North America - Diversity & Belonging. In that capacity, she was responsible for creating and implementing a comprehensive U.S. inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging strategy to identify talent and help them flourish at BCW. Before that, Rosa was the U.S. Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Omnicom Media Group and started her career as a member of the Global Diversity & Inclusion Team at information technology firm Accenture.
