Marita Espada is a writer, speaker, meditation coach, tech leader, and host of The Restless Renegade Podcast. Her thoughtful letter to the White House, recognized by staff and featured on their official social media, added a powerful voice to the national call for integrity and values during a pivotal moment.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Marita moved to San Francisco alone with just three suitcases, a laptop, little to no money, one job offer, no place to live, and a deep sense of purpose. Over the years, she has grown into a respected senior tech leader, guiding teams through rapid growth, acquisitions, and IPOs.
Whether she’s leading teams, writing, guiding meditation, or hosting conversations, Marita’s mission remains clear: to help others. In her spare time, she’s an average golfer (but still optimistic), enjoys exploring cuisines with her wife, and is an avid baseball fan. Beyond all her professional roles, she’s most proud to be a wife and devoted pup parent.
