Namaste & Cabernet

About Namaste & Cabernet

Namaste & Cabernet is a leadership coaching and advisory practice founded by Emese Pogácsás, a former VP Engineering with over 20 years of experience in tech leadership. We work with tech founders, executives, and senior leaders navigating growth, scale, and increasing responsibility. Leadership becomes most demanding when expectations rise faster than clarity. What once worked stops working. Control becomes friction. Decisions carry more weight. Our work focuses on: • Executive and 1:1 leadership coaching • Startup and founder advisory • Ownership over control • Leadership maturity under pressure • Organizational clarity during growth This is not motivational coaching or generic leadership theory. It is structured, human, and grounded in real operational experience. Clients include CTOs, CDOs, founders, Heads of HR, and senior project leaders in high-growth environments. If you are navigating a leadership inflection point, we start with a conversation.
