You've Proven You Can Lead.
Now It's Time to Lead at the Next Level.
Leadership coaching for women in tech advancing in senior roles with confidence and without the burnout.
You're ready for more.
But the skills that got you here, won’t get you there.
You've spent years building your expertise. You've delivered results. You've earned respect. And now you're eyeing that next level: Director, VP, or beyond.
But the path forward isn't clear:
You're crushing it tactically, but struggle to show you’re strategic
You're confident in your work, but feel imposter syndrome spike
You exceed expectations, but watch less qualified peers get promoted faster
You need executive presence, but refuse to be fake or someone you’re not
You're ready to lean in, but don't want to sacrifice your quality of life
Here's the truth.
Senior leadership requires a different playbook that nobody is going to give you.
That's where I come in.
I've been where you are. I can help you move forward.
Hi, I'm Keiko.
I spent 20 years as a marketer and executive in Silicon Valley, leading teams at both unicorn startups and Fortune 500 tech companies. I've built go-to-market strategies, managed big budgets, and navigated the politics of the executive suite.
I’ve also lived the challenges you're facing right now:
The imposter syndrome as a first-time leader, wondering if I really belong.
The exhaustion of proving myself twice as hard as a minority woman.
The isolation of being responsible for delivering impossible results.
The balance of being assertive and a collaborative team player.
The struggles of advancing my career, while being a new mom.
The burnout from trying to do it all perfectly.
I know what it takes to break through these barriers. It’s not by working harder or compromising who you are, but by developing the strategic leadership skills, executive mindset, and authentic confidence that senior roles demand.
You don't have to figure this out alone. I'll be your guide, your strategist, and your tough-love coach through every step of your journey to the next level.
Strategic leadership coaching for your biggest career leap
I work with women in tech breaking into Director roles, advancing to the VP level, or new to the VP or C-suite role to:
Develop strategic leadership skills to get recognized at the next level
Shift from tactical execution to strategic thinking. Frame your ideas in business terms that resonate with senior leaders. Make faster, more confident decisions with incomplete information.
Build authentic executive presence and not fake who you are
Command the room when you're the minority at the table. Communicate with clarity and authority in high-stakes situations. Handle leaders who dismiss, interrupt, or undermine you.
Navigate the politics without compromising your values
Build influential relationships across the organization. Position yourself strategically for the promotion you want. Make your work visible to the people who matter.
Overcome imposter syndrome and own your expertise
Silence the voice that says you're not ready. Advocate for yourself without feeling arrogant. Show up with the confidence senior leaders expect.
Manage motherhood while advancing your career
Be present at home while leading at the executive level. Navigate the "motherhood penalty" with strategies that actually work. Model ambitious, fulfilling leadership for your children.
Create sustainable success on your terms
Lead powerfully without burning out. Set boundaries that actually stick. Integrate your ambition with the rest of your life.
