Hi, I’m Maryam. I’m a serial entrepreneur, advisor, certified coach, angel investor, executive, mentors to leaders, teams, companies, and incredible individuals of all backgrounds. As a founder and founding team member I’ve propelled 3 startups to acquisition by publicly traded companies, built teams and product lines from the ground up, and helped 1000s of entrepreneurs achieve their life and leadership goals.
My mission in life is to empower women, entrepreneurs, and executives to connect with their authentic voice and use it to find their place in the world - no more “good enough”. I want everyone to glow in every aspect of their lives by cultivating their self-awareness, helping them work more effectively, and live in alignment with their deepest values to change their own lives and the world around them.

About Me I’m a Persian-American, San-Francisco native, lover of oysters & polenta, dog mom, who also has a chronic illness. Adventure is core to my being, and I spend as much time traveling, exploring, camping, hiking, and in the great outdoors as much time traveling as possible.
I’ve spent over 15 years volunteering in disaster & emergency management, and search & rescue (SAR) operations. I have multiple SAR and FEMA certifications, and am a licensed HAM radio operator. Additionally, I’ve volunteered and served on boards and chair of multiple non-profit organizations in the children, healthcare, and pet space including work with the March of Dimes, Nalukai, and SFSPCA.
When I’m not doing all the things, I spend my leisure time with family and friends, hosting events, and learning. Reading, meals and gatherings with friends and family, taking courses, and expanding my knowledge are a part of my everyday life.
