Roger S. Cohen is the Lead International Trade Consultant for the New Jersey Small Business Development Centers. He is also a consultant in private practice, where he owns his own firm, Cohen International.

For over twenty-five years, Roger has helped clients develop all sorts of international business - from fine art, through currency printing machines, to xylophones.

Roger studied Planning and Policy at Cornell University, and received his Certified Master of International Business (MBA) from The University of Tokyo.

Roger is credited with initiating the United States Postal Service project that has resulted in the popular "self-sticking" postage stamps. Learning about a long-dormant proposal to put self-adhesive backing on postage stamps, Roger helped make the complex international financial and technological arrangements that jump-started the project after years of delay. Millions of tongues are now being spared the aftertaste of glue, thanks to Roger's efforts.

Roger is a member of the NJ District Export Council of the US Department of Commerce, is a member of the Board of Directors of NEXCO, a non-profit international trade association.
