Dr. Shani Horowitz-Rozen
Communication isn’t a soft skill. It’s your infrastructure.
And when it works — everything else works better.
I’m building communication bridges – one conversation at a time.
I help leaders, teams, and organizations turn communication from a friction point into a performance engine.
With over 15 years of experience across academia, tech, and consulting, I specialize in building communication systems that improve collaboration, reduce misunderstandings, and move people toward results (ideally without twelve follow-up meetings).
I work with companies across sectors — from early-stage startups to global teams — to develop internal messaging, train cross-functional communication, and coach executives on strategic visibility. Whether it’s team alignment, stakeholder storytelling, or manager communication skills, I help turn human interaction into a tool for execution.
Alongside my consulting and workshops, I serve as Chief Journey Officer at Develeap, Israel’s leading DevOps and professional services company, where I lead communication strategy inside and out — empowering employees as thought leaders, shaping client narratives, and building a shared internal language that actually motivates.
I hold a Ph.D. in Communication from Bar-Ilan University, and I’ve taught at universities in Israel and the U.S., including Reichman University and Montclair State. My teaching and research focus on communication as a system that reflects — and shapes — culture, power, and meaning. My postdoctoral research at CUNY’s Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society focused on American civic communication.
I also write a blog on Medium, where I explore the intersection of communication, culture, and systems thinking. My work has been featured on Medium’s homepage, shared with over 2 million followers via their official channels, and named a Top Writer in Feminism (one of 50 globally).
If you’re into case studies about Airbnb, Ukraine, or the emotional weight of email, I’ve probably written about it.
When I’m not helping organizations and people improve their communication, I’m usually deep in a romance novel or searching for the next great fountain pen. (Spoiler: It’s never the one you think.)
