About Us
While delivering transformational executive coaching for nearly three decades, our mission has been simple —
match exceptional coaches with exceptional leaders to fuel growth and navigate change.
Always on the leading edge
Mariposa was founded to support and stretch executives to lead as their best selves. When we started, the coaching industry was nascent. Along with a few contemporaries in Silicon Valley, we generated the results needed to turn executive coaching into a viable – and highly sought-after – approach to develop leaders. We’ve stayed on our learning edge since the beginning, always pushing the coaching industry forward as we have served our coaching clients and the HR leaders supporting them.
Decades of experience, and always learning
Decades of experience providing impactful executive coaching matters. Even seasoned coaches need to hone their craft. Learners always, we collaborate weekly to stay on top of our game so you can stay on yours.

We take great care to match the right executive coach to the person and need at hand. We know our coaches well, working together and learning together with them constantly, versus pulling a profile out of a database. We offer the coach we think will best be able to quickly understand your objectives, the business, and be a good personality connection. And we’re efficient at this match-up because we’ve done it so well for so long. 95% of the time the first introduction we make is the right one!
We take a deep dive into the current reality of individual leaders, a team, or the broader organization. We help assess what’s happening today and the desired future. For individuals, we use a well hone interview-based 360 feedback approach that captures insightful and actionable feedback. This data combined with self-reflection tools and future-thinking exercises illuminate a strong Learning Roadmap. With groups we leverage deep expertise in Design Thinking to capture actionable insights via interviews, then draw on decades of experience and curated resources to inform an impactful design.
Following the thorough design, our executive coaches employ extensive skill to guide impactful, practical, transformational coaching conversations and group work. As both challenger and supporter, they help fuel growth and navigate change.
