Jeena Moon, J.D.
As a first generation immigrant, working mom, and a former corporate attorney at Fortune 100 companies, I know what it is like to be the only woman of color in a room. With fifteen years of experience as a practicing attorney, I’ve navigated the climb from law firm associate to being the lead attorney for a business unit with over 800 employees and managing a team of attorneys. I’ve litigated intellectual property cases in state and federal courts, was the lead product attorney for a significant corporate acquisition, and was promoted five times over my ten years at major global financial services companies, such as American Express.
I built that career in rooms where people like me are rarely seen in leadership opportunities - and rarely supported. The higher you climb, the thinner the air gets for people of color. For mothers, that climb often feels like running a marathon while carrying the weight of a household. I know the unique mental load of being a high-performer at the office while ensuring my children thrive at home. I understand that when you are a working mom, your time is your most precious commodity—and you can't afford to waste it on strategies that don't work. And in today’s corporate landscape, even organizations with the best intentions can find their commitments tested when the political winds shift. That’s the reality the professionals I work with are navigating every day.
But I’ve also seen how something impactful and lasting gets built - when goals are clearly identified and supported by strategic, concrete action plans. During the second year of the pandemic, I found a group of other Asian American mothers in my community. We were concerned for our children’s well-being as schools returned to in-person attendance during the height of anti-Asian hate. And we successfully advocated for our schools to implement anti-racism training for its educators. This was the catalyst for AAPI New Jersey, which I had the privilege of supporting as a Board Member during its first year as a non-profit.
Today, I work with women of color, working mothers, and high-achieving professionals running on fumes — people who've built impressive careers and are ready for something more sustainable, more honest, and more theirs. My coaching practice is grounded in the ICF (International Coaching Federation) core competencies, which I trained in through the Coach Training Alliance's ICF-accredited certification program. The result is a practice that pairs the rigor of a recognized professional standard with the cultural fluency and empathy this work actually requires. As a Reiki II certified practitioner, I bring a whole-person dimension to the work, because true success isn't just promotions and titles — it's having room in your life for joy, presence, and the things that actually matter. Together, we get clear on what's draining you, what's calling you, and what a fuller life looks like — then we build the path there, one sustainable step at a time, without sacrificing your values, your authenticity, or your well-being.
