Our Team
About our CEO
Margarita Rozenfeld is the CEO of Incite International, the award-winning leadership development company providing consulting, coaching, facilitation and training services to commercial, government and non-profit clients seeking to align their vision, culture and people.
Margarita initially developed coaching skills in kindergarten. A chronic and recovering overachiever, she pioneered her class in the mastery of shoelace tying. This motivated her friends to seek self-reliance and she was hired (for brownie points) to coach the group through the process. Having triumphed in her first task as a coach and a trainer, Margarita is thrilled that clients continue to seek her support in conquering challenges.
Margarita is a frequent keynote speaker on topics of leadership, cross-cultural communication and diversity, entrepreneurship and organizational development. Her expertise has been featured on the Fox Morning Show, the Washington Business Journal, Washington Post, My Business Magazine as well as several books on entrepreneurship and organizational effectiveness. In 2007 the Greater Washington Board of Trade honored Margarita’s company with the prestigious “One to Watch” award.
Margarita is the founder of YES!Circle, a leading networking, advisory and educational organization for entrepreneurs in Washington. She is also extremely involved in the D.C. non-profit community, including Kidsave, the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) and Women’s Business Center of Northern Virginia. For our community work, Incite has been awarded Greater DC Cares seal for social responsibility. Margarita is also a graduate of Leadership Greater Washington, Class of 2010.
Prior to launching her company in 2002 Margarita was a Management Consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton. She managed projects involving international environmental security tours, conferences, and workshops for participants from the United States, Latin America and Partnership for Peace nations. Margarita began her career at Chemonics International, managing USAID and World Bank-funded projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Margarita graduated with honors from James Madison University with degrees in International Affairs and Spanish and a minor in Russian Studies. Her passion for international development, exploring different cultures and intent to change the world has compelled her to travel, live and work overseas. Margarita has studied in Spain, worked in Honduras and the United States with international clients, and traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Her uniquely integrated educational, corporate, international, and coaching experience enables her to work with a diverse, multicultural clientele in English, Russian and Spanish.
