Rossella Cardinale

I have a background in labor law and, after more than 20 years of working in a company as a business area manager, I have been supporting organizations on diversity and inclusion issues for over 10 years.

As a consultant, I specialize in the design and measurement of tools to support DEI policies in companies. I am the creator, Trainer, and Scientific Director of 20 training courses aimed at promoting gender equity, equal opportunities, and inclusive leadership for Gruppo Isper (TO).

I collaborate with organizations dedicated to transforming organizational culture on inclusion topics such as Winning Women Institute and have participated in multi-stakeholder projects in partnership with the Metropolitan City of Milan and the Municipality of Milan, such as Claudia 2.0.

I have also been collaborating for several years with Società Umanitaria Milano and Centro Guido Dorso di Avellino to help young people develop emotional intelligence.

From 2022 to 2023, I was a Contract Lecturer at the Catholic University of Brescia, Faculty of Psychology, where I conducted a workshop on Skills for entering the World of Work.

I am a Board Member of AIDP Lombardia and the Lombardy representative of the National Inclusion group, as well as a Board Member of the Meritocracy Forum.

As a professional Counselor registered with Assocounseling, I work on the reskilling revolution, especially with women and young people.

I love culture and art, and together with other colleagues, I founded the AIDP Lombardia Art&Management Group to explore and codify best practices at the intersections between arts and management.

I strongly believe in the alignment of mind – body – emotions and for this reason, I have been practicing Yoga and Meditation for over 10 years.
