After spending several years in clinical practice, Sulkowicz pursued a career in business consulting and in 1998 founded Boswell Group in New York.[3][7] The group advises institutions and companies in several industries, and as of 2014 had consultants in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco.[8] Sulkowicz's clients have included the board of trustees of Cooper Union.[9] He has been widely cited as an authority on business psychology and the psychology of leadership, including in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The New York Times.[2][10]

In addition to his work with the Boswell Group, Sulkowicz is a clinical professor of psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center.[11] He is a former head of the Public Information Committee of the American Psychoanalytic Association.[12] Since 2013 he has served as vice chair of the board of Physicians for Human Rights.[13] He sits on the advisory board of the Acumen Fund,[14] and the boards of the New York Center for Children and the Lucy Daniels Foundation.[15][16]

After 9/11 Sulkowicz became known for his work as a volunteer counselor at a crisis center for Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial-services firm that lost over two-thirds of its employees in the attacks.[10]

Sulkowicz has published several articles in scholarly journals, including Harvard Business Review.[17] Until 2006 he wrote a regular column, "Analyze This," for BusinessWeek. He has also written "The Corporate Shrink" column for Fast Company magazine.[4][18]
