Get to know Cory

Cory McGowan is a globally experienced executive coach who partners with leaders seeking deep transformation in themselves and the systems they lead. His clients include senior executives at multinational companies, startup founders, and full leadership teams at mission-driven organizations.

Cory brings decades of experience across management, human resources, and entrepreneurship—and combines it with a deeply human-centered approach. His work is rooted in the question: What does it mean to lead from the truest expression of who you are?

He specializes in helping clients create alignment between their values and their leadership—especially in times of uncertainty, cultural complexity, or personal transition.

Fluent in English and Japanese, Cory has lived most of his life outside the U.S. and brings a rare global lens to his work. When he's not coaching, you’ll find him adventuring, cooking, or in quiet contemplation about the state of the world.
