Maya Ram

As a Global People Leader & Executive Coach with over 15 years of experience leading global People functions for high-growth tech companies across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC, I bring a unique blend of strategic HR leadership and executive coaching expertise. My coaching engagements focus on leaders at pivotal moments: scaling rapidly from 100 to 700+ employees, navigating acquisitions or restructuring, or building leadership depth for global expansion. I help experienced leaders move faster and more thoughtfully by sharpening clarity, improving decision-making, strengthening communication, and fostering alignment across teams. As a Certified Co-Active Professional Coach (CPCC) and seasoned people strategist, I design development sprints and coaching programs that align business goals with personal growth. My philosophy: development isn’t an add-on; it’s how leaders and organizations stay relevant, resilient, and purpose-driven. I’ve coached founders, senior executives, and emerging leaders in startups and global enterprises, helping them build self-awareness, lead with authenticity, and deliver measurable impact. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: leadership is an act of meaning-making. When leaders connect deeply to their purpose, they create clarity for others, foster belonging, and amplify impact far beyond their teams. I’m passionate about helping leaders rediscover that sense of meaning so their growth not only drives performance but also leaves a lasting imprint on the people and cultures they touch. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I work virtually and in person with clients around the world,
