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.
Julie works with executives at all levels who are ready to advance and thrive, including in managing director, partner and C-Suite roles.
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 of Allied Partners, a real estate investment, development, and management firm, and COO of Argo Real Estate, an investment, development, and management firm, both based in New York City.
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.
