Gabriella Rigg Herzog

Gabriella Rigg Herzog has joined the United States Council for International Business (USCIB) as vice president for corporate responsibility and labor affairs. Working out of USCIB’s New York headquarters, Herzog will lead the organization’s work on labor and employment policy, corporate responsibility, business and human rights, and corporate governance.

USCIB, which represents hundreds of America’s most competitive global companies, maintains an active Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Labor Affairs, chaired by Laura Rubbo of The Walt Disney Co. As the U.S. member federation of the International Organization of Employers, USCIB serves as the American business representative in the International Labor Organization, the UN body that sets international labor standards and works to improve working conditions worldwide.

Herzog most recently served as senior manager for corporate social responsibility (CSR) at Hess Corp., where she led development and integration of value-added CSR and human rights governance, employee training and assurance processes into Hess management systems, and provided field-level support for implementation. This industry-leading work reduced operational, financial and reputational risks and contributed to Hess being named to the 100 Best Corporate Citizens and Dow Jones Sustainability Index lists.

Previously, Herzog was a policy advisor at the U.S. Department of State in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, where she led the Bureau’s global CSR policy and program practice. She also worked at the U.S. Department of Labor developing and implementing labor cooperation programs to help labor ministries improve enforcement capacity.

“Gabriella brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to USCIB, especially her background in CSR and labor issues, which will contribute greatly to our efforts on behalf of members,” said Rob Mulligan, USCIB’s senior vice president for policy and government affairs.  “Having worked with USCIB while in the U.S. government and participated in USCIB’s work at Hess, she is already familiar with the work of the committee and will be able to hit the ground running.”

A fellow with the Aspen Institute’s Business and Society Program, Herzog holds a certificate of international business management from Georgetown University, a master of arts in law and diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University, and a bachelor of arts in political science from Northeastern University.
