Meet Our Office Hours Mentor

After a decades-long career in communications, culture, and DEI leadership, including serving as President of New York Women in Communications (2018–2020) and earning a Matrix Award in 2021, Judith Harrison seems to have done it all. Now, after shaping the culture inside some of the world’s leading firms, she remains focused on one important thing: connection.

With the launch of organizational culture consultancy The Judith Effect in June 2025, Harrison emphasizes that connection is vital to today’s work landscape. “I’ve been looking at how to make [the work] even more impactful given the state of the country and the world and the growing need for connection.” The impact of this work is intuitive and strategic. “It makes so much sense to me to create atmospheres where people feel valued and heard, and where organizations understand this is profitable. It’s not just a ‘nice to have.’ It’s how you get the best out of people.”
