Designing, attracting and building world class teams
We need more female entrepreneurs and executives to be role models. To show other women, that if they can do this, so can you. The Rosenzweig Report reminds us of the work we still need to do.
Jay Rosenzweig deserves kudos for tracking the number of women in leadership roles for the past 14 years, and for his actions and advocacy for change. Only through measurement and education can we hold one another to account, and spur greater action to affect the positive transformational change.
The Rosenzweig report plays an important role in highlighting that there is a lot of work to be done to close the gender gap, so that we can achieve equality and shatter glass ceilings that continue to hold women back. I commend Jay Rosenzweig for championing this report year after year. I always look forward to reading about the steps taken closer towards gender equality, as well as to his suggestions on what we can do together to make the necessary changes needed to make the goal achievable.
Women have a crucial part to play in development across the world. They have been undervalued for far too long. Currently, my foundation is in the process of building girls-only programming that we plan to help fund for years to come. Lots still need to be worked out, but like Jay Rosenzweig, I’m committed to the betterment and advancement of girls and women in society.
The Rosenzweig & Company Annual Report provides important analysis about the accomplishments women continue to make as business, non-profit and public-sector leaders. The insights from the Rosenzweig & Company Annual Report can position all organizations and emerging female leaders to reach higher, and break through glass ceilings.
Thanks to the guidance and support of incredible Canadian leaders such as Jay Rosenzweig, who works tirelessly to help advance the state of women through this important annual report as well as powerful initiatives worldwide.
Winning companies are fueled by strong and healthy diversity of thought, which is heavily dependent on the diversity of people they hire. Measuring and monitoring the success of companies and the correlation with their diversity statistics is an important driver of awareness, which we thank Jay Rosenzweig for championing.
I commend Jay Rosenzweig’s report for spotlighting women’s achievements and opportunities for growth that are paramount to economies advancing initiatives that help women realize their full potential.
The Rosenzweig Report is an accurate and useful means of charting the advancement of women at corporate Canada’s highest levels, and serves as a reminder that there is more to be done. It is a pleasure to know the Report’s author, Jay Rosenzweig, and to advocate in common cause with him on issues of women’s rights. I continue to be impressed with his longstanding commitment to gender equality and broader human rights causes.
Thank you to Jay Rosenzweig and his continuous mission to bring awareness, productivity, fight and truth to sustaining her value- reflecting her beauty- amplifying her voice. The Rosenzweig Report qualifies the infinite blessing of the feminine by fighting for its release from institutionalized and unauthorized imprisonments.
Jay Rosenzweig is a very professional and incredibly connected executive recruiter. His experience and reach spans many industries. I highly recommend Rosenzweig & Company and Jay!
Jay Rosenzweig, through The Rosenzweig Report and his support for the #MeToo movement, shows that men can be important and effective allies and advocates for real change.
It is refreshing to see men like Jay Rosenzweig who, like me, believes in investing in women and diversity. Jay should be commended not only for his long-standing advocacy on gender equality, years before it was in mode, but also for his personal efforts to spur change by advising so many female-led businesses. Bravo! Let's keep that momentum going.
For two decades, Jay Rosenzweig has fought for gender equality, diversity and inclusion. Change has been slow in the real world, but I believe web3 can help speed things up. We need to all work together to achieve, as Jay put it, the dream of a time when there will be only be ‘business leaders’, not ‘women leaders’, ‘African-American leaders’, or ‘Asian leaders’.
The Rosenzweig Report has earned a reputation as a voice for change and a truly objective source in this important topic. It's reporting truly shows us where we need to work harder and smarter to identify and eradicate gender inequality and to function as a healthier society as a result.
Very highly recommend his services, Jay knows the industry like no one else.
Jay Rosenzweig, has issued yet again his 'Report on Women in Leadership', as a call to action to do more to achieve gender equity in the boardrooms of our nation and beyond. His work empowers women and puts them at the forefront not only in corporate boards, but in all walks of life, be it arts, science, the political sphere, and other decision-making bodies of our nation.
Increasing the number of female partners also increases returns and profitable exits. The same applies in most industries: More women's voices; higher profits. Jay Rosenzweig, a valued member of our advisory board, has been saying the same thing for 18 years in his annual report tracking the number of women in the highest positions at the largest corporations. Keep up the good work, Jay!
Jay Rosenzweig has made supporting female founders in tech a top priority as an advisor, investor, mentor and advocate. It’s exactly why Jay was one of the first advisors I brought into Zipline, for his progressive stance on diversity, female leadership, and innovation. His actions not only speak louder than words, he champions ideas into movements that create change for women.
The Rosenzweig Report is a useful report card proving that Canadian companies are not doing enough to promote women into the highest levels of corporate leadership.
This company Rocks!!! And Jay is awesome!!! It’s a pleasure to work with him and his team!!!
Jay Rosenzweig is working diligently in the fight for equity, justice, and fairness. Jay, on our BlackNorth board, is the epitome of active allyship and continues to showcase the importance of unity.
Jay is a huge advocate for women and women’s rights. It is an honour and privilege to know him. I believe the world would be a better place if more women became leaders and there were more men like Jay who recognized and supported their leadership.
Grateful for organizations like Rosenzweig & Company who are leading the way in gender and pay equity in the workplace. Highly recommend this team of consummate professionals led by Jay Rosenzweig. They are knowledgeable, yes, but also kind.
Women have come a long way, but The Rosenzweig Report reminds us of how far we have yet to go. Jay's work elevates the value of female leadership and participation. Never in our history has there been a more important time for diverse voices and visions.
It is encouraging to see The Rosenzweig Report and the determination to keep at it for almost two decades. Change, especially necessary change, is not necessarily easy. Keep at it, Jay, and don’t give up!
Jay has an amazing combo of 1) an elite network across all of the top industries and 2) a willingness to be generous with his network (and time) to help build incredible teams and organizations that will shape the future. Highly recommend working with him if/when possible!
I have had the honour of knowing Jay Rosenzweig for the last 15 years and to work closely with him over the last year. Jay is a brilliant and reliable man, with abundant experience and incredible insight. Above all else, he has incredible business and life values.
I’ve admired how Jay Rosenzweig has fought for the hiring, promotion and retention of women at the highest levels in the largest corporations across the country. The Rosenzweig report is a yearly wake-up call that we need to work together to ensure the advancement of women—particularly BIPOC women —in positions of senior corporate leadership.
Progress starts when we have the courage to not only speak up about inequities but we also act to change what we know to be unjust. Jay Rosenzweig, who we so value as an advisor here at Community, takes action through The Rosenzweig Report. He has created a space that shines a spotlight on the inexplicable lagging numbers of women business leaders and the inequities that perpetuate the real challenges women experience in the workplace. Thanks in large part to the Rosenzweig Report, there is no denying that now is the time for us to do better.
Have worked with Jay and his team for years and can attest that they are top notch humans and treat everyone with empathy while being stellar recruiters. Highly recommend
Each year the Rosenzweig Report serves as an invaluable reminder that the advancement of women is proceeding incrementally at best in many C-suites and boardrooms across the nation. By aggregating and quantifying results, the Report highlights the fact that only modest gains are being made, hopefully providing a fact-based impetus for corporate Canada to move beyond more talk and get straight to more action.
It's time to really double down on our efforts to support the advancement of women entrepreneurs, women in leadership roles and women decision makers. Jay's report will keep us honest. It will take significant effort, changes and commitment from both male and female leaders and CEOs to create a world where both our daughters and sons will have an equal chance at significant leadership positions.
Thank you to Jay Rosenzweig for his work in bringing leaders together from all walks of life and backgrounds in a common cause for the protection of women’s rights globally.
Purpose driven leaders are what drive change, they surrender themselves to causes that are greater than them and give without expecting anything in return. Jay is one of those leaders, using all of his skills, time, energy and resource to drive a positive change in our planet. He understands that societies thrive better, and enjoy peace and prosperity when women step up in leadership, and that is the purpose of the Rosenzweig Report.
Judging by his tireless work for gender equality, Jay Rosenzweig grew up under the same warm, maternalistic blanket of his mother. I commend Jay for encouraging the advancement of women in leadership.
I like to surround myself with change-makers who identify problems and set out to make things better. That’s why I invited Jay Rosenzweig to join the Advisory Board of our investment company FullCycle. For 20 years, Jay has been fighting to make the corporate world more diverse, more equitable, more inclusive. More importantly, understands the moral imperative of equality. I’m honored to call him a friend and it says something hopeful that I, a Palestinian American, and Jay, a Jewish Canadian can work in harmony together and with such great mutual respect.
We’ve found that changing peoples’ views can take longer than expected, but perseverance is the key. Jay Rosenzweig has found the same over the past 18 years as he tries to change corporate views when it comes to women leaders, who are just as good or better than male business leaders.
Jay is a co-investor with me in multiple projects and is someone whose approach to investing I respect. He is pretty darn smart and worth connecting with!
I have used Rosenzweig & Company as a recruiter (in widely varied industries from finance, to nonprofit, to entertainment) and as a consigliere in a variety of business matters. The firm's approach and insights are unparalleled, with reach you'd only find at massive firms, and personalized service that feels like an in-house employee. Jay Rosenzweig is a true partner and guide in every sense of the word. I simply don't consider other firms at this point given the continued success I have had with his company.
The annual Rosenzweig Report shines a light on the existing gaps and educates business leaders, politicians, and society at large on the need to strive for greater gender equality. We know women face barriers when trying to grow or start a business, and Jay’s Report reminds us that we must keep pushing for change.
Congratulations to Jay and the Rosenzweig Report for putting facts and figures to how far we need to go to achieve a degree of equity for women in the workplace. Companies and societies function better with women in leadership. You can't improve what you don't measure. The Rosenzweig Report enables progress.
For the past 18 years, the Rosenzweig Report has scrutinized how and whether women are progressing in business. With this edition of the Rosenzweig report, we salute the courageous resistance of Iranian women, their creative use of artful forms of communication, their appeal to our common humanity to advance gender justice.
Whoever says there are no systemic racist problems in Canada is ignorant of the truth. Jay Rosenzweig isn’t one of those people. For two decades, Jay has been on the frontlines fighting for justice and equality throughout society from top to bottom, including through his annual Rosenzweig Report, and he’s been a valuable addition to the board of the BlackNorth Initiative.
Jay and the team are great. They have a keen sense of business strategy and culture that helps them build the right search and pinpoint the best person. Highly recommend.
The Rosenzweig Report provides a good reminder about how much still needs to be done to achieve true gender equality in the workplace.
I have worked with Jay for over 25 years and have had consistently excellent experiences throughout that time. Jay is the consummate professional who puts his clients first. His network is unsurpassed. I can say with confidence that Jay will surpass your expectations and deliver exceptional results.
We know the impact of this work grows exponentially by aligning with leaders who are focused on bold outcomes and who share our sense of urgency. The Rosenzweig Report plays a role in that regard, because it tells us how far we have come, while also reminding us of how much further we have to go. Since 1997 Jay Rosenzweig has been a partner and advocate with us advancing inclusion. I’m thankful to have visionary allies like Jay.
I believe the Rosenzweig Report inspires women to reach for the top as leaders who can impact others for good.
As someone who is passionately involved in the movement for social and environmental justice, I cannot overstate the importance of allies like Jay Rosenzweig in our struggle to make the world safe for those who are vulnerable.

I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met because of Pandemic of Love, people like Jay Rosenzweig who has been a big supporter and mentor, in part, because The Rosenzweig Report reminds us year-after-year that we need to be there for one another, and we need to support each other, regardless of gender or background. Jay understands mindfulness, equity and he embodies love-in-action daily.
For almost two decades, Jay Rosenzweig has been challenging norms with his annual publication of The Rosenzweig Report. Jay is a diversity pioneer, not only for gender, but also for all communities facing discrimination, including black, indigenous and people of colour.
The Rosenzweig Report is a great resource that helps all who care about equality, justice, and progress for women and society at large, to keep track of this progress and to ensure diligence in prioritizing the importance of women’s position in all sectors of society.
Hopes and aspirations need to be met with opportunity. The Rosenzweig Report shows us we still have so much to do in creating equal opportunity for women in our most senior ranks.
The Rosenzweig Report shows us how far we still have to go to break glass ceilings and clear bottlenecks in the middle.
Looking forward to working with Jay and the incredible community he has built to continue to create an even bigger impact together for the future.
The Rosenzweig Report began as a survey charting the progress women are making in reaching the top echelons in the corporate sector. Over the years it has adopted a wider perspective, advocating for those women and children whose voices often go unheard. This broadening of purpose mirrors Jay’s active participation in the social issues of our times as an investor, spokesperson, and mentor.
Through his women’s rights work on many fronts including his advocacy work on behalf of the women of Iran; his support for Ukraine and it’s First Lady and her foundation; his platform as Board Chair of Irwin Cotler’s Raoul Wallenberg Centre For Human Rights; and his annual Rosenzweig Report on the lack of women leaders in business, Jay Rosenzweig is an ally in our fight on several levels.

The Rosenzweig Report is an essential resource for all concerned with bridging the gender gap in the workplace. The excellent research and depth of knowledge makes is a useful tool for all concerned with gender equality.
The Rosenzweig Report does an excellent job highlighting progress being made, and yet much more needs to be done. Telling stories of successful women and the organizations that empower them not only inspires the next generation, but it also reminds companies and boards what it looks like when gender diversity is prioritized.
Transformations don't happen overnight, as Jay Rosenzweig knows from 20 years of fighting for gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, understanding that change is a gradual process. Jay and I share the belief that data is crucial in driving change. He has identified systemic issues within businesses that stem from the top down. The Rosenzweig Report impressed me with its fact-based approach, presenting hard data to a male-dominated business culture year after year. There is no innovation without change. And change is coming, albeit more slowly than we’d like!
The Rosenzweig Report holds a mirror up to the corporate world and we should face reality, create a more inclusive and just society as we move to economic recovery in the post-pandemic world.
Jay and I come from very different backgrounds but we both feel like the lucky ones and Jay’s fight for gender equality is his passion and I salute him for it.
I highly recommend Jay and his team. First class in every way.
Jay’s work as a philanthropist and social justice fighter is unparalleled. The elite community of thought leaders that support him are a direct result of his impact across the globe. He has become not just a mentor to me, but a brother.
Jay Rosenzweig is one of the most well connected people out there and he uses that to his clients' advantage in finding just the right matches. I highly recommend working with him!
They are grateful for the work of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights and people like Irwin Cotler, Jay Rosenzweig and so many others who seek justice and freedom.
With partners like Jay Rosenzweig, we are working to close the gaps and change the equation; it’s time to reimagine the workplace and make it more equitable.
There’s nothing better than helping others who are less fortunate. Jay Rosenzweig grew up with parents who taught him the importance of hard work and integrity. He dreams big, too, not just in business but also when it comes to social justice and fairness. Through his Rosenzweig Report, Jay has been fighting for inclusiveness, diversity and gender equality. This is the 17th consecutive year of the Rosenzweig Report and Jay’s tenacity shines through.
The Rosenzweig Report sheds both a hopeful light on the trajectory of gender equality in the corporate world, while also reminding us that there is still much more work to be done. We all have a responsibility to roll our sleeves up to pave the way toward a future where gender equality in the workplace is the norm.

Jay Rosenzweig is an investor and a valuable advisor. He is not only a believer in blockchain technology and Web3, he is a staunch supporter of women founders and having the best people in place, regardless of gender, ethnicity or anything else. Trust in crypto has been eroded recently, but through it all, including our merger, Jay has steadfastly had our backs, just as he’s had the backs of women executives for the past two decades.
We are thrilled to partner with the Rosenzweig Report to use Diversio’s AI solutions to gather data on workplace inclusion. Our hope is that this additional data will help organizations create workplaces where diverse talent can thrive.
Jay is a tireless and talented executive, with an unparalleled global network, deep knowledge across a wide range of fields, and abiding generosity of spirit. Highly recommend for all services offered by Rosenzweig & Co
Women have so much more to achieve, due to lack of opportunities! And progress is slow. But in this fight, we need allies. I appreciate that the Rosenzweig Report shines a spotlight on the issues.
The annual Rosenzweig Report on female leadership inspires, reminding us that diverse leadership teams thrive whether at startups, mid-size firms or large publicly-listed companies. Our advisor, Jay Rosenzweig, deserves a tip of the cap for holding up a mirror to business every year, prompting us to do better when it comes to gender equality. With women making the majority of the household spending decisions, not investing in women in business costs investors money.
The Rosenzweig Report serves as a powerful reminder that more needs to be done to provide women with opportunities to find fulfillment in their chosen pursuits.
I am grateful to Jay for the advisory work he does with us at Hoot Reading, as we work together to change lives through literacy, and to the Rosenzweig Report for continuing to help us understand - and ultimately close - the gender gap.
Jay Rosenzweig from Rosenzweig & Co. is an exceptional executive recruiter with unparalleled access to meaningful, impactful, and exciting opportunities.

Having been a C-level executive and founder for nearly a decade, I can confidently say that Jay is the best partner I have encountered in his field. His dedication to finding the perfect match for both organizations and individuals is unmatched. I highly recommend Jay Rosenzweig for any organization or individual looking to raise the bar and achieve extraordinary results.
Jay's experience and vision are second to none! He carefully matches talent and culture in a way that unlocks full potential for everyone.
Jay is an amazing leader and talent evaluator.
I’m proud of the dogged work over 16 years from Rosenzweig & Company, showing Corporate Canada that we can do better and we must do better when it comes to diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity.
For almost 20 years, Jay Rosenzweig has been passionate about enhancing diversity and gender equality in society. His annual Rosenzweig Report has helped spur change in corporate boardrooms and executive offices, albeit more slowly than many of us would like. Jay is checking the box when it comes to adding value for others, and his hard work will pay off.
Rosenzweig & Company is proactive, highly service-oriented, and incredibly responsive. Their customized, research approach is super effective. Their deep understanding of the media business in general, and our business in particular, has made it a pleasure to work with them. We continue working with them on an ongoing basis, and now consider them part of the Business Rockstar family.
I remain grateful to allies like Jay Rosenzweig whose Rosenzweig Report helps raise the public consciousness that while we have made some progress, there is still much to be done.
Thanks to the important work of the Rosenzweig Report, all those who care about gender equality will keep at it until real change is felt.
The fact that the Rosenzweig Report and companies like Rosenzweig & Company exist should make everyone feel better about the world economy. Jay Rosenzweig is the ultimate Girl Starter. He wants men and women to work together to end gender inequity. He is a role model and is dedicated to educating, hiring, investing and empowering women. We need more business leaders to follow the Rosenzweig example and understand that supporting women is an economic imperative.
My startup is fortunate to have a group of both men and women who are almost equally represented on our cap table. Jay Rosenzweig is one of those investors and advisors. He has always encouraged our founding team to be conscious of diversity in our workplace. Having Jay as our mentor has really helped us shape how we think about our hires, partners, advisors, and investors. He's the motivating force that keeps my head up when I face challenges in the workspace due to my gender.
Whether advocating for the sovereignty of the Ukrainian people, the freedom of Iranian women, or the economic empowerment of women globally, my friend Jay is a change-maker and a do-gooder in the very best sense. I’ve been pleased to have had opportunities to work with Jay on a common cause and look forward to doing more together into the future. This year, the Rosenzweig Report has, for the first time, found that the number of women in top positions has finally hit double digits, or more than 10%. A lot more is still needed and I know Jay will continue to push for change.
Jay’s passion for mental health, his support for our work, and his empowerment of young women shines through and is greatly valued. He has been our champion since day one and we are grateful to have him in our corner. He founded the Rosenzweig Report almost two decades ago with a clear purpose: the promotion of gender equality and diversity in business and society at large. Over two decades, Jay and his company have not wavered from that purpose.
We see from studies such as the Rosenzweig Report that although Canada has experienced growth in recent years in the number of women appointed to senior ranks, the proportion of top female executives has climbed more slowly. If you look at some of the most successful organizations, it is no coincidence that you will find strong gender diversity up the management chain.
