Joyce West

Joyce West

I'm a top-rated coach, including being on Influence Digest's List of 2023 Top Coaches in San Francisco (a short list of 15 coaches out of thousands, if not tens of thousands of coaches).

I founded and successfully sold an office snack distribution company to corporate offices, and love being an early stage employee at fast growing and innovative companies where I can make an impact.

I'm a General Manager and operating executive for growing companies. I love change management, turnarounds, and strategically fixing problems and fueling growth. I love balancing the two sides of every business equation (supply and demand) - creating demand and making it rain through sales and business development, and also driving excellence in operations/fulfillment.

I'm also a seasoned Chief Revenue Officer experienced in creating strategy and world class execution for the entire sales cycle. I can play a CRO role or a VP of Sales role. I have extensive experience with creating aggressive finance strategy, managing cashflow, and optimizing pricing, costs and revenues.

Fast forward to the present - my passion is career coaching, executive and leadership coaching, business coaching, and sales coaching.

I coach a wide range of clients, but am a unicorn 🦄 coach when it comes to serving ambitious leaders (of all ethnicities and genders), Asian American leaders (or those looking to move into leadership), people of color / minorities, and women. There aren't many coaches who do what I do to get more Asian Americans to break the bamboo ceiling, so that is a particular mission and passion of mine.

I'm a serial entrepreneur who started her first business in college, and I've never known what it's like to not be in charge and be a leader. If you're someone who wants to gain that executive presence, stop being an apologist for who you are, and train to be in the C-suite and executive management, let's talk. #diversityplease
