ABOUT MIKI

Miki Feldman Simon is a Certified Executive Coach (PCC) and author of CORE Leadership: A Four-Step Framework to Lead Yourself, Grow Your Influence, and Amplify Your Impact. With over 25 years of corporate experience in the United States, Israel, and Australia Miki brings a global perspective to leadership and growth. She enjoys the fast-paced environment of start-ups and scale-ups, where she has spent most of her career. Under her tenure in HR, marketing, and executive leadership, she has led multiple companies to successful exits and has gained deep understanding of the challenges executives face.

Miki brings this expertise into coaching, where she partners with her clients to overcome the obstacles and challenges in leading and growing organizations. The CORE framework (Clarify, Operationalize, Reflect, Evaluate) she developed, is a practical approach to leading yourself with intention and impact. Miki uses it to help her clients move from awareness to action, clarify priorities, and align how they lead with the kinds of leaders they want to be. Her clients describe her as a straight shooter with warmth, insight, and a talent for turning reflection into results.

Miki has an M.S. in Organizational Behavior, and a B.A. in Psychology and Educational Counseling.

Passionate about equality in leadership, Miki has also dedicated her career to helping women develop and execute leadership skills for sustained success. Under her HR leadership, the software company Profitect achieved gender parity across all levels — with a 50% female management team leading the company’s finance, marketing, program management, human resources, and customer success departments. She continues this in her startup, IamBackatWork, which is dedicated to helping women return to work and thrive in their careers.

Miki enjoys a good challenge, whether professionally (successfully reinventing her career multiple times) or in her personal life (getting fit at 50 to summit Mount Kilimanjaro).

She loves passing this passion on to her clients and audience, inspiring them to explore their perceived limits, accept change, and embrace the growth that comes with it.
