Athena Alliance

Athena Alliance is a professional development community and SaaS-based platform designed to advance women into the highest levels of leadership, including the C-suite and corporate boards. Founded by Coco Brown in 2016, the company provides executive coaching, board-readiness training, and a curated network of peers and mentors. While not a biotechnology company itself, Athena Alliance is deeply embedded in the life sciences and healthcare sectors, having successfully placed hundreds of women on the boards of prominent biotech and pharma companies. The platform integrates community, content, and coaching to help leaders navigate career transitions and drive organizational impact. The company also partners with venture capital and private equity firms to diversify their portfolio company boards.
