Executive coaching for tech leaders · San Francisco & online
Lead the bigger role without running on fumes.
I'm a tech insider and certified coach. I help directors, VPs and founders get clear, steady and back in control, so they can grow without losing themselves.
As featured in
TOUCH BusinessSpring 2026You're good at your job. Maybe too good: everything runs through you, the pressure keeps growing, and the version of you that loved this work feels far away.
You don't need another productivity hack. You need a thinking partner who knows your world but isn't on your org chart.
Burnout
Lead without burning out. Set boundaries that hold, get your energy back and stop carrying everything alone.
Imposter syndrome
Own the seat you earned. Quiet the voice that says you'll be found out, and make hard calls with confidence.
Big transitions
A new VP role, a first company, a career change or a new country. Step into what's next with a clear head.

Olena is by far the best. Her patience, compassion and ability to truly connect to your emotional and professional needs is amazing.

The 3-month program
Clarity → Reset → Lead
Twelve weekly sessions, plus short check-ins between them. Direct, warm, no fluff. I don't give business advice: I help you see what's really in your way, so you can break through it.
Month 1
Clarity
Map what's draining you, what matters most, and the pattern underneath the problem you came with.
Month 2
Reset
Loosen the beliefs and habits that keep you stuck, and practice new ways of responding, one week at a time.
Month 3
Lead
Bring what you've seen into how you show up: under pressure, in hard conversations, in big decisions. Build habits that hold without me.
What you'll leave with
You see the patterns that have been quietly running your choices.
You know what's actually been stopping you, often it's you, and why.
Your own answers to the questions you've been circling, found by you, not handed to you.
You feel steadier and more like yourself under pressure.
This is for you if
You're a director, VP or founder in tech, and the role has grown faster than your energy.
You're stepping into something bigger and want a clear head while you do it.
You want honest feedback, not cheerleading.
You're ready to try something new between sessions.
It's not for you if
You're looking for therapy or treatment for a mental health condition. I'll gladly point you to a licensed professional.
You're looking for business strategy or someone to tell you exactly what to do.
You're not ready to change anything yet.

What clients say
From investors and executives
“She has a real gift with connecting with her clients and understanding what's actually going on. She intuitively knew where to go and what questions to ask. She was able to really teach me about certainty, about mindset, and the importance of holding the vision.”
“Olena brings a creative and refreshing perspective to executive coaching. … Our work gave me new ways to think about how I operate as an executive, and I left feeling clearer and more grounded.”
“Olena helped me uncover that my perfectionism was the real block. The breakthroughs I had with her changed the way I approach both work and life.”
About Olena
I'm not watching tech from the outside. I'm in it.
Alongside coaching, I lead client solutions at a technology company and host executive gatherings for CTOs, VPs of Engineering and CIOs across the West Coast. I understand the pressure you're under because I work in it every day.
I grew up in Ukraine and led a team at Hilton by 21. At 23 I moved to the US with $900 and built a tech career from scratch. From the outside I was thriving. Inside, I was burning out. Rebuilding how I live and work taught me what I now help leaders do: notice the pattern early, and change it before it costs you.
I coach the whole person, not just the job title. I've invested years in my own growth, including multiple Tony Robbins programs, and I bring that energy and directness to every session.

Questions leaders ask
Is this confidential?
Yes. What we discuss stays between us. If your company pays, it receives only what you agree to share.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching focuses on your goals, decisions and how you lead. It doesn't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If something calls for a licensed professional, I'll tell you and help you find one.
Can my company pay?
Yes. Many leaders use their learning and development budget. I invoice companies directly and can send a one-page proposal for your manager or HR.
Online or in person?
Sessions are online via Zoom or Google Meet. In-person sessions in San Francisco are available on request.
What happens on the free call?
You tell me what's going on. I tell you honestly whether I can help and which option fits. That's it.
