Kamrin Huban, Executive and Personal Coach at Kamrin Huban Coaching

Learn More About Kamrin

Kamrin Huban spent 22 years in global operations with adidas, Coach, and Brahmin before launching her own leadership coaching business in 2019. Her career took her around the world—and into long-term residencies in China, Vietnam, Germany, and New York—shaping a cross-cultural understanding of what it means to lead with empathy, adaptability, and vision.

Today, she coaches high-performing professionals to reconnect with purpose, reimagine what’s next, and lead with renewed energy and impact. Her work blends strategic insight, deep listening, and the belief that being truly seen is a powerful catalyst for change.

Kamrin’s own career transition—just before the pandemic and her 50th birthday—inspired the creation of 50, Not Dead, a podcast and platform amplifying the voices of women reclaiming relevance and reinvention in their careers.

She’s honored to be part of today’s conversation on confidence, leadership, and the power of taking bold risks.
