The Office of Multicultural Affairs, within the Division of Student Affairs, is bringing Judy Shen-Filerman, founder and principal of Dreambridge Partners, to campus on Tuesday, April 24, to conclude SU’s celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Shen-Filerman will give a presentation on “The Voice of Leadership as an Asian-American” at 7:30 p.m. in the Heroy Auditorium, located in the Geology Building. The event is co-sponsored by Career Services. It is free and open to the public.
As founder and principal of Dreambridge Partners, Shen-Filerman has built a cross-cultural leadership development firm focused on cultivating success for students, professionals and teams, with expertise in working with Asian and international individuals. Her practice builds on three critical capacities: self-aware leadership, contextual communications and collaborative interpersonal relationships.
Shen-Filerman is an accomplished business leader, consultant and entrepreneur with an expansive 20-year career. A Harvard College and Harvard Business School graduate, she has held innovations-oriented marketing management positions for the world’s top consumer brands, including, Procter & Gamble, Campbell Soup Asia and Polaroid. As vice president of marketing for the U.S. Professional and Business Division at Polaroid, Shen-Filerman overhauled the division’s marketing mission, strategy and organization, including launching its first online business.
Her coaching approach is strongly informed by her experience as a bilingual, immigrant, Chinese-American woman who has achieved cross-cultural success throughout her life. She leverages interpersonal communications as the platform for bridging culturally diverse people towards shared outcomes.
