Marengo

What Marengo does

Marengo is a private, for-profit executive coaching and leadership development firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in New Orleans, with 11-50 employees serving enterprise clients globally. The company sells a portfolio of leadership solutions: 1:1 executive coaching (subscription, up to two 50-minute sessions per month with email support and 360 feedback), Turnaround Coaching (a 1-3 month intensive subscription for underperforming employees), Leadership Labs (team workshops on effective communication, executive presence, conflict management, and related competencies, delivered in hourly, half-day, or full-day formats), and a digital coaching product ("Marengo Leadership Lab") delivered natively inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, currently in free early-access beta. Coaches are all former C-suite or senior executives at Fortune 500 and major institutions (Elliott Management, BlackRock, Wells Fargo, American Express, J.P. Morgan, Farmers Insurance, ABC News, Disney, Amazon, PwC, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, among others), which functions as the company's primary go-to-market asset.

The technology layer is centered on the Slack-based coaching experience — prompts, reflection questions, and 5-10 minute sessions embedded directly in the user's existing workflow — with Microsoft Teams referenced as an additional delivery surface. No proprietary AI/ML models, patents, or data flywheel mechanics are disclosed; the digital tier is described in human-coach-content terms.

Marengo generates revenue through a mix of subscription 1:1 and turnaround engagements, pay-as-you-go professional-services workshops, and a freemium early-access digital product. Distribution is direct, sales-led enterprise outreach (Calendly and email) supplemented by a planned product-led funnel through the Slack-based beta, and the customer base spans at least 23 named enterprise logos across financial services, technology, media, retail, healthcare, food & beverage, and professional services, served across three continents.
