Searching for an executive coach to show you and your team how to succeed?
I work with senior executives who want more clarity, stronger teams, and less drama.
As a former tech exec, I know how isolating leadership can be. The stakes are high. The feedback is filtered. And most people won’t tell you the truth—even when you need it most.
That’s where I thrive. I see what others miss. I say what others won’t. And I help you move forward with greater self-awareness, strategic clarity, and leadership impact.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve always been fascinated by the people side of leadership. In my years as a senior executive, the “people puzzles” were my favorite part of the job—figuring out how to help someone see what they couldn’t see, having candid conversations that unlocked performance, and motivating leaders in ways that drove greater success.
What I didn’t have was anyone I could turn to for the same level of support I was giving my people.
The coach my company provided was inspirational, but she didn’t have practical experience as an executive. So the work stayed on the surface.
It didn’t touch the gritty, complex reality of leading at the executive level: managing board dynamics, navigating politics, balancing strategic-thinking with tactical day-to-day realities, or shaping a high-performance culture.
I’m Maggie Key.
Executive coach and mediator. Trusted advisor. Straight-talking partner in your corner.
I saw this gap over and over again. Many organizations offer “leadership development” or academic-oriented coaching and training, but most of it isn’t practical or relevant for senior executives.
I knew I could make a bigger impact by changing that.
I became the coach I wished I’d had.
Someone who boldly meets executives exactly where they are (when they need it), without judgment.
Someone who can look at their board deck one moment, then talk through how to approach a tough conversation the next.
Someone who can both challenge and support them, hold them accountable to what they say matters, and help them navigate the human side of leadership.
That’s what I do now. And it’s the most meaningful work of my career.
If you’re ready for honest conversations, clear direction, and meaningful change, let’s talk.
Credentials that matter. Experience that counts.

What MiraVous clients are saying.
“Maggie's coaching is transformative. Before her coaching, my effectiveness as a leader was arguably declining as my organization grew in size and success. Decision-making was sometimes drawn out and stressful. Maggie was able to understand my unique challenges and partner with me on actionable strategies tailored to my strengths. Through coaching, I have found clarity and confidence and have become more efficient and productive in leading my organization. My stress levels are down and I have a more balanced life outside of work as well.”
Meka Egwuekwe, CEO
“It's great to have a perspective from someone outside your own company, yet has the C-suite experience to know how to handle most any situation. Maggie helped me gain clarity on who I am, what I stand for, and what I want to accomplish. She has encouraged me to allow others to see my true self and ensure that I build a personal brand that reflects me, both professionally and personally.”
Krista Dusil, CFO
