President of the Center for Work-Life Policy, economist and Columbia professor Sylvia Ann Hewlett is charting new ground for companies and employees with her bestselling books and cutting edge research.
Her new book, Off-Ramps and On-Ramps (Harvard Business School Press), named by Amazon as one of the top ten business books of 2007, establishes her as a leading expert in the fields of talent management, workplace transformation, diversity and inclusion.
She is the founding director of the Hidden Brain Drain — a Task Force of 46 global companies committed to the full realization of female and multicultural talent. Working with Goldman Sachs, BP, GE, Microsoft and others, Dr. Hewlett has authored and developed innovative models of best practice.
Her 2002 bestseller, Creating a Life, lays out a “road map” for ambitious women seeking to integrate work and life. Her other books include The War Against Parents (co-authored with Cornel West) and When the Bough Breaks, winner of a Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Book Prize.
In addition to her Columbia University appointment where she directs the Gender and Policy Program, Dr. Hewlett is the founding President of the Center for Work-Life Policy, a Manhattan-based think tank. She writes regularly for the Harvard Business Review and the Financial Times and has appeared on Oprah as well as Charlie Rose.
