Hello, I’m Marge Ang
Executive Coach and Corporate Business Leader
Founder and CEO of BlueMonk Leadership
BlueMonk Leadership was founded from the perspective of navigating my own career changes. The color blue evokes calm and inspiration, and Monk is a nod to Thelonius Monk, one of my all-time jazz heroes. Like Monk, we create an expansive space for women to unleash their creativity, take risks, and be the best leaders they can be.
With over 20 years of partnering successfully with corporate executives and global teams at Fortune 500 tech companies and startups, we’re passionate about helping female leaders channel their unique strengths so they can lead with clarity, courage, and confidence. We are especially committed to supporting women of color.
We are also committed to higher education and continue to support and mentor women at all stages of their careers by volunteering at UC Berkeley, The University of Chicago, and Society of Women Engineers.
My husband and I are both musicians, based in California, and we both enjoy a good road trip and a glass of Malbec (not at the same time).

What’s Unique About Us
Grounded in 20+ Years of Business Experience in Diverse Industries
Our practice is grounded in 20+ years of business experience in the tech industry – of being in the trenches and leading through real business challenges at B2B/B2C Fortune 500 firms and startups. We’ve experienced real pressures of meeting sales goals and customer requirements.
We have a pulse on what’s going on in the industry based on current experience working with clients in diverse markets.
Resilience Through Firsthand Experience with Career Pivots
Our mission is driven by multiple career transitions, having pivoted five times, and changed industries six times.
With this perspective, we guide clients through unforeseen challenges, pitfalls, and happy surprises that can emerge from their own pivots.
Female Focus
We are an executive coaching company for women in leadership, dedicated to helping women build and sustain rewarding careers.
We are also focused on helping women tap into their own creativity so they can lead with empathy, courage, and resilience.
We’re especially committed to supporting women of color.
Relevance
We have a pulse on what’s going on in industry based on current business experience working with clients in diverse markets.
We work with clients in consumer products, medical devices/ digital health, and software SaaS services.
Collaborative
We take a holistic, strategic approach to support your vision, goals, and objectives.
Rather than provide clients with a recipe for what to do, we partner with them to identify their core strengths, values, and mission, then map out a plan to make it come to life. We’ll explore together!
Global, Cross-Cultural Perspective
We have a deep understanding of the nuances of cross-cultural team dynamics from living in three countries and working with six global cultures.
We help clients navigate, lead, and collaborate successfully with global teams.
You know what you’re good at, but are your heart and gut humming a different tune?
This dissonance isn’t a bad thing…but what if you allow your brain to listen carefully to what your heart and
gut are telling you, so they all harmonize…
…and LISTEN deeply to your Inner Leader…
…so you can take the next step towards doing what you love to do?
