To inspire others to lead genuine conversations (the kind that don’t make you want to check your phone) and to help people stand firm in their renegade beliefs with enough moral courage to create meaningful change.
A Renegade’s Journey to Stillness is a timely and moving debut that seamlessly blends memoir and personal growth. Marita traces her path from her Puerto Rican roots to the ever-evolving world of Silicon Valley and, ultimately, to the fast-moving rhythm of New York City’s tech scene. This compelling and transformative narrative explores what it truly takes to heal and grow.
I share what I’ve learned about healing, growth, and what it means to lead with moral courage. This book is about the values that lead us, the conversations that change us, the quiet moments that ground us, and the radical act of standing firm in who you are.
What if your strength isn’t in the escape but in the return?
Senior Tech Leader
Leading with Purpose, Scaling with Strategy & Grounded in Mindfulness
I believe leadership is an intentional practice rooted in mindfulness, empathy, and purpose. True leadership empowers teams not only to overcome challenges but to innovate boldly and grow sustainably while maintaining balance between business goals, career development, and personal well-being. Navigating high-stress growth periods such as rapid scaling, pre-IPO preparations, acquisitions, or successful public offerings demands resilience, clear vision, and unwavering focus. I have led teams through these critical junctures, bringing steady, thoughtful leadership that aligns operational rigor with a human-centered culture.
Currently, I lead a team of eighteen at a high-growth Series C SaaS company based in San Francisco. My focus is on shaping leadership practices that fuel both operational excellence and a thriving team culture even under intense pressure.
Meditation Coach
I offer an approachable and inclusive style of mindfulness instruction designed to resonate with individuals at all experience levels. Through both live and pre-recorded sessions on Insight Timer, I create grounded, relatable experiences that support participants in deepening their practice. My recorded offerings include a variety of guided meditations focused on stress relief, relaxation, self-awareness, and specialized techniques such as body scans.
As a leader, I believe that cultivating mindfulness is essential—not only for personal well-being but also for fostering resilience, clarity, and emotional intelligence within teams. Mindful leadership promotes thoughtful decision-making, effective communication, and a compassionate workplace culture, all of which are critical to sustainable success in today’s fast-paced environments.
I invite some of the boldest thinkers to share their stories on the podcast. From entrepreneurs and artists to adventurers and other “renegades,” these guests have embraced moral courage, risk, and change to create meaningful lives and impactful careers.
Through candid conversations, they explore leadership, life challenges, business insights, and the mindset needed to navigate uncertainty and growth. Their stories inspire listeners to lead with purpose and courage in their own journeys.
