Hi, I'm Marta.

Without losing themselves in the process.

If this is you, welcome.

For those who never fit one room

You dare to dream big.

You've built things that didn't exist, in rooms nobody expected you in.
And you learned which parts of you need to wait outside.

But your biggest dream yet requires you to claim the whole range of who you are.

The parts you've kept quiet. The ambition that felt unseemly. The sensitivity that felt unprofessional.
The clarity and authority that's been there all along, underneath the armor.

It's time to stop deferring the biggest version of yourself.

It's time to rise beyond the patterns that hold you back.

It's time to claim all of it.

Wherever you are

I work with you from wherever you are

01

Deep in the build

You create the future every day. You're a founder, a leader, a changemaker. You know your inner capacity needs to scale as fast as your dream. We work on the strategic and the human - staying centered in your authority while holding the vision, the team, the investors. And on the patterns that may hold you back before they do.

02

The courage to pause

You've been optimizing hard. Delivering. Performing. And something is starting to feel deeply missing. Or you're questioning whose metrics you've been optimizing for. You're ready to sit with the difficult questions. Let's find your inner clarity for what's next.

03

Design the next leap

You know the shift is coming. You just can't see its shape yet. You're ready to do the inner work to find the direction - and the outer work to build the map.

04

Downshifting

You're longing to make space for the parts of yourself that have been waiting - family, a creative life, a hobby. Maybe it's scary. Maybe it's new. Let's redefine what a different kind of whole means in this next chapter.

Create from the full range of who you are.
The vision you haven't said out loud yet.
The parts you've kept quiet.
The clarity and authority that's been there all along, underneath the armor.

The Work

Four ways. One direction.

You are the dreamer who executes. The strategist who also does the deep inner work. You know that what you build and who you are while building it both matter.

Find your inner authority.

Tap into your unique inner flow - free from the noise, the borrowed identities, the critical voices that were never really yours. This is leadership from the inside out.

Dream the unthinkable.

Get clarity on what is unmistakably, only yours to build - the vision that calls you that has no precedent. Dream it at full scale.

Build the map.

The right partners, investors, resources, timelines, geographies - brought together to make it real.

Execute.

Boldly, powerfully, with the full force of who you are - without losing yourself.

You have the rare capacity to move between worlds.
Now you also get a partner who matches you.

1:1 Coaching

I partner with people who've made extraordinary jumps to help them build what only they can create. From the full range of who they are. Without losing themselves in the process.

For those ready to step into the largest version of themselves, I invite you to experience how I coach, so we find out if we're a good fit.

I work with only a handful of people at a time.

About Marta

I never fit one room.
I just kept building bigger ones.

I've made jumps that shouldn't have happened.

  • Small town in Poland → NGO founder in Kenya →

    Pioneered, fundraised for, and built a school for 600 Maasai children at 23.

  • Kenya → World Bank Innovation Lab, $MM+ investments →

    Helped start its first social enterprise investment program in Africa and Asia. $60M investment fund redesign, 1,200+ innovations, 60+ countries.

  • World Bank → Harvard & Stanford MBA →

    Pioneered research on frontier technology in healthcare. Started 2 start-ups.

  • Stanford → BCG health AI expert →

    Built breakthrough health AI technologies with category-defining start-ups and Fortune 500 companies. Co-authored articles with BCG.

  • Burnout → thriving

    I lived it. The jump that required everything. And gave back more.

  • My thriving: Silicon Valley investor, strategist & executive coach

    Investing in startups I believe in. Coaching founders and executives building them.

  • And through all of it -

    A 12-year competitive ballroom dancer who competed at European championship level. A hiker who climbed multiple 6,500m peaks in the Himalayas and around the world. A founder. A strategist. A dreamer who never stopped. A human.

I help extraordinary people make extraordinary changes. The people who find their way to me are founders, leaders, change-makers - and the stuck Wall Street analyst who turned startup CFO, moved to Boulder and invested in her passion: mountain biking. The solo-mom health AI founder who learned that regulation was her most important leadership tool. The senior tech executive, father of three, who had the courage to take a sabbatical and ask the questions he'd been avoiding.

What they share isn't a title - it's a knowing that the next chapter must be built from inside out. And they are ready for it.

The work draws on years of building and testing - leadership and interpersonal dynamics from Stanford, adaptive leadership from Harvard, deep pattern recognition, attention training, and somatic work.

But mostly it draws on you. Your patterns. Your terrain. Your dream.

“Our work was exactly what I needed to start a new chapter in my life.
What I appreciated most is that it was not just about becoming a better founder or making better decisions. It was about who I was becoming through the experience.

Marta created a space where I could slow down, be honest about my fears, and look at the patterns driving me. She asks thoughtful, direct questions and offers reflections that help you see things you may not have been able to see on your own.”

— Female Founder & CEO, CA, USA

“In a world that rewards aggression over authenticity, you are a beacon of light and clarity.”

C-Level Executive, Health AI Startup — CA, USA

“ You helped me enter a new chapter with more self-trust, clarity, and energy. I left our conversations feeling more connected to myself, with new ideas coming up naturally because I finally had enough space to hear myself think.”

Female Founder & CEO — CA, USA

“After just 12 minutes of speaking with you, I knew exactly what to do. You get straight to the core of the issue and create clarity almost instantly.”

Owner & CEO — Poland

You need to choose it.

Training Programs

After years working with leaders and founders, I kept seeing the same foundational skills missing. I built a curriculum around it.

Training - 01

Center in Chaos

Under pressure, you lose access to your best thinking. Not metaphorically - physiologically.

Five practices to return to center when everything around you is in motion. Learn to lead from groundedness and clarity - even in the midst of uncertainty and high-stakes decisions.

Inquire about the next cohort →

Training - 02

Transcend Your Pattern

You've felt it - the moment you stop leading and start reacting. The decision that came from somewhere old.

Gain awareness of where your automatic attention goes when you're overwhelmed - and begin the deeper work of living, leading and creating from the core of who you are, outside your pattern.

Inquire about the next cohort →

Training - 03

Build Without Breaking

The most extraordinary things are built in sustained intensity. And intensity, over time, asks something of you.

Practices for holding yourself through intense creation cycles - that make resilience the foundation, not the retreat. So both you and the thing you're building can fully thrive.

Inquire about the next cohort →

Training - 04

Design Your Next Chapter

The answers are already inside you. Let's find them.

Playful, deep, and surprisingly revelatory. Stanford d.school life design meets lean startup - to explore, prototype and discover your next chapter. Grounded in yourself, tested in real life. Group coaching.

Warning: People have changed their lives after this one.

Inquire about the next cohort →

Occasionally I bring a small, highly selective group to Bali for an immersive retreat - we find inner power, surrounded by a lush paradise. Ayurvedic treatments, jungle spas, and water temples.

These are rare. If you feel called - inquire.
