Athena Alliance
Athena Alliance is a subscription community and learning platform that helps senior women executives build what it calls a 'Portfolio of Impact' - advancing into the C-suite, onto corporate boards, and into investing, entrepreneurship, and thought leadership. Founded in 2016 by Coco Brown, it blends a curated peer network, a learning library, 1:1 coaching, live salons, and direct board-opportunity matching. Its membership spans leaders from companies like Microsoft, Alphabet, Disney, Databricks, and Stripe, and the organization says it has helped place hundreds of women on corporate boards.
