Jason Cohn is a Senior Associate in the Leadership Advisory Services practice at Spencer Stuart, based in Atlanta. With a unique career arc that transitions from high-stakes corporate law to human capital consulting, Jason specializes in helping leaders "connect where they are today to where they want to be tomorrow." He brings a highly analytical, grounded approach to talent development, focusing on aligning individual capabilities with organizational goals to drive measurable business outcomes and meaningful behavior change. Jason’s expertise lies at the intersection of Psychology and Strategy. His work centers on designing and delivering training programs that focus on leadership development and team effectiveness. He is particularly skilled at partnering with Learning & Development (L&D) teams to build scalable experiences that do more than just provide information—they drive real-world organizational shift. Currently pursuing his ICF ACC coaching certification (expected Spring 2026), Jason has logged over 80 hours of formal training, which he integrates into his assessment projects to provide leaders with a path toward continuous growth. Before joining Spencer Stuart in 2019, Jason spent over a decade as a high-level attorney. His experience as a Senior Counsel at Hartman Simons & Wood and as an attorney at global firms like Greenberg Traurig and Arnall Golden Gregory provided him with a rigorous foundation in negotiation, risk analysis, and executive communication. This "legal pedigree" allows him to navigate complex regulatory environments and advise senior leaders on strategic risk with a level of precision and composure rarely found in the talent advisory space. Jason holds a Doctor of Law (J. D.) from the University of Georgia School of Law and a B. S. in Psychology from the University of Georgia. This combination of academic backgrounds allows him to understand the structural "rules" of business alongside the behavioral "drivers" of human performance. At Spencer Stuart, he leverages this dual lens to help clients rebuild work around what matters—aligning roles with values and strengths to unlock untapped potential.
