Hi there! My name is Kathy Wu Brady.

I’m an Executive Coach & Strategic Advisor.

I help ambitious, heart-led leaders make bold moves—moves that align with their values and drive real results.

I’m not just a coach—I’ve been in the seat. I’ve led companies, made impossible calls, and navigated moments where there was no playbook. I’ve scaled businesses, restructured teams, raised millions, and built functions from the ground up—while also recovering from burnout, navigating health crises, and finding my way back to myself.

That’s why my clients trust me.
They’re high-performing executives and founders who want a strategic thought partner—not platitudes. They want someone who knows how to think like an operator and act like a guide.

Over my 25-year career, I’ve:

  • Switched sectors 5 times and led 7+ functions

  • Scaled businesses by 5x and turned around underperformers

  • Generated tens of millions in enterprise value

  • Hired and developed hundreds of leaders, many now thriving in C-suite roles or fulfilling nontraditional paths

  • Navigated intense personal and professional pivots—and emerged stronger

Today, I coach and advise high-achieving leaders who want to lead with clarity, conviction, and capacity. I help them find the path that’s truly theirs—and walk it with more power and ease.

Let’s connect if you’re ready to lead without limits.

Let’s get personal

I am a daughter of industrious immigrants, a granddaughter of resilient refugees, partner to a modern renaissance man, and parent to 2 precocious young adults.

I was motivated at an early age to achieve financial freedom as early as possible while modestly up-leveling my lifestyle.

I am a bridge builder and a generalist.

I incorporate a systems and human-centered perspective when I tackle any issue.

I studied engineering and finance and am an Ivy League graduate who doesn’t believe college is essential.

I aspired to become an artist at 5, but put that aside to prioritize my financial goals. After 25+ years of work, I now am pursuing my art obsession. (You can find my work on Instagram: @kwubrady)

I believe anyone committed to mindfulness, value creation, and community building can change the world.
