Aleesha Patel is a Certified Integral Leadership & Personal Transformation Coach with 15+ years of experience leading brand, marketing, and research at mission-driven startups (LinkedIn, Digit, Brightwheel) and Fortune 100 companies (Nike, Chase, J&J). She now partners directly with individuals to navigate leadership, career transitions, and personal growth–with more clarity, courage, and compassion. Throughout her career, Aleesha has experienced the full spectrum of professional highs and lows—from layoffs, burnout, and toxic work environments to leadership promotions, greater responsibility, and team-building success. She has transitioned across industries and roles, moving from consulting to client-side, individual contributor to people leader, interviewee to hiring manager, and employee to entrepreneur. These lived experiences allow her to serve clients with deep empathy, insight, and practical strategies, supporting them in finding fulfillment in both work and life.

As a Certified Integral Coach, Aleesha integrates somatics, adult development theory, neuroscience, ontology, and integral theory into her coaching practice. She focuses on root causes rather than just surface-level solutions. Instead of only addressing the What and How of leadership, she supports clients in exploring the Who—who they are at their core, how their past experiences have shaped them, and what patterns may be keeping them stuck. Through this lens, she partners with them in making meaningful progress, not only in their immediate challenges but in aligning with their deeper purpose and long-term vision. Outside of coaching, Aleesha is a proud wife and dog mom, amateur yogi, and hummus enthusiast. She is also a newfound minimalist, having spent two years on a road trip across 25+ cities.
