I’m an executive coach who helps leaders navigate pivotal career moments with clarity, confidence, and impact.
With nearly 20 years in marketing leadership, including as a Chief Marketing Officer scaling a startup to a $1B+ market cap, I understand the pressures of leading in fast-changing environments. I blend research in psychology, leadership, and adult development with real-world experience to help leaders define their vision, build high-performing teams, communicate with influence, and manage complexity effectively.
My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and results-driven, supporting leaders committed to growth and creating equitable leadership systems.
Let's connect if you or your organization are navigating a pivotal leadership moment and want to develop the skills to thrive.
Hi, I’m Leah Kim.
My passion is to help you realize your potential.
Only 1 in 4 C-suite leaders is a woman,
and only 1 in 20 is a woman of color
Women in the Workplace, McKinsey & Company, Oct 2022
I support women of color and their allies to rise to—and stay in—senior leadership positions.
A leadership role can be a tremendous thrill and represent a career achievement. Those who rise to the top are often life-long high achievers. They show up, work hard, and deliver results.
What isn’t often talked about is that leadership roles can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially for women of color who are underrepresented in senior leadership roles and working to check boxes that weren’t designed with them in mind. We lose leaders to burnout and drop out, creating a self-reinforcing cycle.
