Betsy Bosak, Ed.D.Betsy joined TRW after completing her doctorate in Educational Psychology at UCLA and serving on the faculty there. While at UCLA she was the principal investigator on a number of federally funded research studies where her nationally recognized work focused on racial attitudes, work-family balance, women in non-traditional careers and sex role stereotyping. She has over 20 publications based on her work.

During her 26 years at TRW and Northrop Grumman she held a number of increasingly responsible human resource line and staff roles. Prior to retiring she was the Director of Diversity, EEO and Employee Relations for Northrop Grumman Space Technology (NGST), a 9500-person organization with locations at 7 sites throughout the country. In that role she was responsible for designing proactive diversity initiatives to meet the needs of the business, plus leading NGST’s diversity recruiting efforts and national awards process.

Currently she is partner with Spectrum Knowledge where she applies her extensive research and human resources background to help address critical issues facing both the private and public sector.
