Hi! I’m Kax!

I am a career and leadership coach after nearly 2 decades of working in tech, in both corporate and startup. With my last role being a Head of Product before I decided that I was done and wanted something else.

2 decades of working in tech. I've seen a lot and been through more. So I know what a lot of you are going through. Actually lived through most of it:

  • I know what it's like to do exceptional work and still not get the recognition.

  • To find out that you're being paid much less than your peers despite having the bigger impact.

  • To want the promotion or the salary increase and not get it over and over again.

  • To want something different but not know what different is or what it could be... so I felt stuck.

I tried nearly everything conventional career advice told me to do.

Show up more. Speak up in meetings. Network and build your personal brand as if your life depended on it. It probably did. In a way.

Some of it helped. Sometimes. But I couldn't get them to move the needle consistently and sustainably.

Until I did.

What actually changed and made things consistent wasn't a shift in a tactic or practice.
What changed was how I saw myself and what I was worthy and deserving of.

What changed was who I was being day in and day out. Despite the feedback, the rejection, or the uncertainty

The moment I stopped trying to fix what was wrong with me and started getting clear on why I was already everything who I wanted to be, then things started falling into place. One at a time. Then all at the same time.

I eventually made it to Head of Product. Which for years, I thought was what I wanted. And then I burned out. Yet another reorg happened. Another round of changes and all the things that it implies.

I had to ask myself the question: Am I giving up or am I just done?

So I chose to bet on what I've always loved doing. In 2024, I left corporate tech, and went all in on coaching. Something I've been doing on the side since 2019.

Since then, I've worked with 200+ professionals through 1:1 coaching, workshops, group programs. I help them land roles, get promoted, step into leadership, and build careers that actually felt good for THEM.

And as a Filipino woman who spent years navigating multinational corporate life while living abroad, I also know what it means to have to work twice as hard just to be seen.

The work is always the same: we start with you.

Who you are, what you want, and who is the version of you who's going to get everything they want. Everything else is details.

Let’s start?
