Erwin de Leon, PhD

I teach organizational leadership, provide strategic counseling, and collaborate for a just and equitable world.

At Columbia University School of Professional Studies, I am a faculty member in the Nonprofit Management Program as well as the school’s inaugural Chief Diversity Officer. I also serve on the board of directors of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York and as a strategic advisor to the Saamarthya Foundation.

In 2022, I was named one of Crain’s Notable LGBTQ Leaders and included in City & State’s Responsible 100. In 2023 and 2024, I was recognized by PoliticsNY as one of its Power Players in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
