The hardest moments in our organizations often lead to the most profound periods of evolution and discovery. As we navigate those times in our careers, we experience our own evolution and learning - about our strengths, our purpose, and what we value most. In this salon, Elena Donio discusses how to move forward when nearly all is lost. This discussion will leave you and your team with knowledge on:
Elena Donio is a seasoned technology leader with a career spanning over 25 years as an operating executive and board member. She is currently a board member, investor, and advisor to several technology companies. Elena was CEO of Axiom, a leading global marketplace for on-demand corporate legal talent, from 2016 to 2020. During her tenure as CEO, she led the organization through a period of accelerating growth, investment in technology, an ambitious restructuring, and capital investment from Permira Funds. Elena serves on the board of Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), the leading cloud communications platform, where she was appointed as both director and compensation committee chair in 2016. She also joined the boards of Databricks, the data and AI company, and Contentful, the leading content management platform for digital-first businesses, in 2021. Elena served on the board of compensation software provider PayScale from 2014 to 2019 and on the board of King County Boys and Girls Clubs from 2009 to 2014. Prior to joining Axiom as CEO, Elena served as president of SAP Concur. Elena joined Concur in 1998 through the acquisition of start-up 7Software, and served in various leadership roles including the head of worldwide sales and marketing, head of product management, executive vice president and general manager of small and medium sized businesses. She helped lead the company through many transitions, including Concur’s acquisition by SAP in 2014; its transition from licensed, enterprise software to cloud-based solutions; from desktop computing to the mobile device; and from its dominant focus on large enterprise clients to small and mid-market organizations. Elena started her career journey in technology with several years spent at both Andersen Consulting (Accenture) and Deloitte serving F100 clients across the globe. She earned her BA in Economics from the University of California, San Diego. Forever passionate about building a more diverse and inclusive technology industry, Elena enjoys mentoring the next generation of women leaders, advising, and investing in women-led startups. Elena lives in the Seattle area with her husband and three sons.
Coco is founder and CEO of Athena Alliance. Prior to her current roles, Coco served as President, COO, and Board Director of Taos, a market leader in IT Services serving hundreds of F1000 companies, including Apple, Cisco, ebay, Facebook, and Silicon Valley Bank. Coco brings rich experience across F1000 companies, start-ups, and nonprofits in the roles of CEO, COO, advisor, and Board member to Athena. She possesses a unique understanding of the breadth of challenges and opportunities of leadership. She empowers leaders to execute successfully, working with them to develop the relationship between a company’s strategy and its organizational design and environment. Coco’s expertise in developing and strengthening these important linkages makes her a powerful C-level advisor and Board member. In addition to serving on the Board of Taos from 2004 to 2014, Coco served as a Board Director for MentorNet during its rebranding, product transformation, and subsequent acquisition by Great Minds in STEM. Coco was on the finance committee supporting the Board of Directors of Samasource and established the Operating Committee for the Silicon Valley arm of Golden Seeds, a New York-based early-stage investment firm.

Join us for a Salon or Meetup to get a peek inside our community! Peer Groups and Learning Circles are exclusively for members - log in here
A Look Inside Athena is held monthly for prospect members to come and understand how Athena works. They will learn more about the backstory of Athena, see a tour of our platform, and have the opportunity to discuss more of what they are interested in and ask questions about joining our community.
Learn about the most pressing topics facing executives today in an intimate, yet casual, virtual setting. Hosted by board directors and leaders from the world's top brands.
Gather with Athena members in your area for a casual, in-person Meetup. These are planned by request and hosted by Athena members in various cities. If you're interested in hosting and/or joining a meetup in the future, reach out to the Member Success Team and let them know.
We have an incredible community of female leaders at Athena and we want to bring you closer together! Join a Peer Group and build a network of peers you can engage with for guidance, lessons learned and insights around a shared interest. Choose a topic that most interests you or drop in and out of multiple peer groups as it suits you best. You’ll find at least one peer group available to join every week. Each live session goes for one hour, no preparation is needed, just show up as you are. We look forward to seeing you there!
A Learning Circle is an opportunity to connect with a small group of other Athena members in a focused yet casual setting, creating accountability around targeted learning to assist you in achieving your goals. Over the course of 6 sessions, club members will meet every 2 weeks to participate in an organic, peer-led discussion of the session's "chapters" consisting of 1-2 Athena salons which are to be reviewed on your own prior to the group session. When joining, members are committing to completing all 6 sessions.
Typically led by one of Athena's coaches, networking events provide members an opportunity to meet one another in a smaller intimate and virtual setting.
These are typically in-person events led by Coco and our partnering companies on topics that are relevant to the industry and audience of our business partners.
A workshop is an interactive session for members to actively practice something, such as their pitch. These sessions typically involve breakout rooms, member to member feedback and are not recorded.
For members new to Athena looking for ways to engage, these bi-weekly orientations led by an Athena Member Success Manager, provide a live tour of Athena, member success insights, and a chance to get questions answered.
Athena customizes virtual learning events with expert business leaders tailored to a unique company’s needs. These events cultivate cross-functional community, development, and learning across the partner organization.
Athena listens and we're always adding new event types and opportunities for members to engage. See what new events we are currently offering members.
