Nelson Cohen Global Consulting
About
Nelson Cohen Global Consulting was founded in 2009 by Priscilla Nelson and Ed Cohen.
We help organizations design intentional cultures where inclusion, trust, and innovation fuel long-term success. When organizations liberate the leader within, extraordinary things happen—for people, for teams, for the enterprise. And when that same energy is extended into society, the impact multiplies—empowering individuals, communities, and future generations.
Our philosophy is simple yet profound: we meet people and organizations where they are and help them move to where they want to be.
Since then, we have partnered with organizations across the globe, transforming them into relationship-centered, inclusive, high-performing workplaces where people thrive, innovation flourishes, and performance follows.
Meeting Today’s Complexities
From start-ups to global enterprises—and across private, public, and social sectors—Nelson Cohen Global Consulting has worked with more than 150 organizations worldwide to help them navigate complexity, elevate leadership, and build relationship-centered cultures that deliver results.
Our work spans organizations such as Barclays in the United Kingdom, HCL Technologies in India, SprintRay and Farmers Insurance in the United States, SoftServ in Ukraine, and Brave Venture Labs in Kenya, along with multinational leaders like Western Union and emerging innovators like Tenant Inc. Each partnership reflects the same truth: when relationships thrive, organizations perform.
