The Gender Communication Game: Julie Zuraw
In 2003, Julie left a high-level career in advertising behind to begin consulting directly with business leaders on corporate strategy, team-building, and their own leadership challenges. Over time, she became sought after by female executives navigating male-dominated industries, and the Lead Like a Woman program was born.
Prior to founding The Julie Zuraw Group, Julie was Director of Strategy for the Publicis Brand Optimizations Systems Group, where she built the group’s brand education practice and oversaw global client operations and brand identity initiatives.
She has been President and COO of real estate investment, development, and management firms, trained Boards of Directors, built customer service operations, and held various management roles in New York City political campaigns.
And she has been a faculty member at Columbia University and Barnard College, where she has taught courses to undergraduates on skill-development pedagogy and to graduate students on pitching their professional projects.
Julie is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter.
