Coach

Caroline Kim Oh is an executive and leadership coach and founder of CKO Coaching & Consulting, a boutique firm focused on women and people of color in senior leadership roles.

Since launching her company in 2014, Caroline has coached nearly 300 leaders across media, technology, finance, education, nonprofits and the arts through major transitions, bold goals and personal breakthroughs. She specializes in helping clients become confident, high-impact leaders while achieving fulfilling work-life balance. Caroline also advises senior leadership teams, facilitates retreats, and provides group support for Chief, a private network of senior women executives.

Caroline’s coaching journey began during her tenure as president of iMentor, a NYC-based youth mentoring nonprofit. Over thirteen years, she grew the organization from a $350K budget with 4 staff members to over $10MM with more than 80 employees, serving thousands of students from underserved communities. As colleagues consistently sought her leadership advice, she recognized her calling and retrained to become an executive coach.

Caroline holds an MPA from NYU and a BA from Cornell University. She is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), and certified in The Leadership Circle Profile, DiSC, and Hogan assessments. She has served on nonprofit boards including Row New York, Youth I.N.C. and Nonprofit New York.

Caroline shares her expertise through speaking engagements and keynotes on creative leadership, and publishes Caroline’s Notes, a free resource sharing her insights and learnings.

Caroline is in awe of her two children, who are suddenly taller and smarter than their mother, and savors long walks, museums, journaling and leisurely meals with friends and family.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ She is a proud immigrant and New Yorker.
