For the ones holding it all together.
Career coaching to help you grow confidence, stability, and self-leadership.
I am a former tech leader with 16+ years of intense experience in scaling companies, creating remote teams, leading through chaos, and trying to create work environments where people could thrive, and not just survive.
I know the pressure of being the calm one in the storm, and the cost it can take on your mind, your energy, and your relationships.
I’ve been where you are.
— Trying to hold it all together, thinking I was a superhuman, but slowly burning out.
— Making work my whole life and allowing it to spill into my relationships and life.
— Burning out in toxic environments that demanded too much.
Now, as a trauma-informed, relational coach, I combine real-life leadership experience with inner work to help you create real change fast and lead from a place of real self-esteem.
The experience I bring:
- I started my career in 2008, and I bring hands-on business experience in leadership, operations, People Ops, marketing, and project management
- Former leader - worked directly with CEOs, created remote cultures, implemented systems and processes, built layers of leadership, hired and led hundreds of people, and created various departments from scratch. I know how things work backstage and can help you learn from my mistakes and successes.
- On top of my leadership and mentorship experience, I'm a certified coach with 400+ hours of certifications and over 1.5K hours of working one-on-one with clients.
I can help you build:
✔ Resilience that doesn’t lead to burnout
✔ Healthy boundaries that actually hold
✔ And strong relationships, at work and in life
✔ A career that grows with you and works for you
This isn’t your typical leadership coaching.
It’s real work, and it will change how you lead your life.
“Working with Ikey as my coach was truly eye-opening and saved me from heading down a career path that wouldn't have made me happy in the long run. I'm so glad I had her guidance and truly thankful for her capability of elevating other human beings."

“When Ikey first joined, we were a tiny company with fewer than a dozen employees. It was time to grow and scale, and Ikey single-handedly hired and trained dozens of people, organized how we run our meetings and tracked goals, designed the entire structure of our organization, was an integral part of building our company culture, and helped us to become a mission-driven company. We now have a global team of more than 100 people who change lives every day."
- Daniel Rosen, CEO
