About Cooper Margolin

We don’t just coach executives, we partner with visionaries who refuse to compromise their humanity for success.

For over three decades, we have served as trusted advisors and sounding boards to Fortune 500 CEO’s, founders leading the development of technology and sustainable energy solutions, as well as entrepreneurs trying to launch or scale their dreams. Our approach bypasses trendy leadership fads in favor of deeply rooted time tested human-centered frameworks.

Having guided leaders through volatile economic and political cycles, technological transformations, and hyper-growth, we provide the steady perspective and candid feedback required to elevate your leadership legacy.

The work we do is specialized and deeply personal. We do not act as a consultant who hands over a generic playbook or gives out scripts. We provide clients a safe space to feel seen, understood, and supported as we gently challenge their assumptions, biases, and limiting narratives that dictate how they react under stress. Their experience with us naturally guides them to extend the same empathy and clarity to those they lead which in turn can move a team or organization to grow towards their individual and collective potential.
