LEAD FACILITATOR
MARIKO GORDON

Mariko Gordon built a $2.5B money management firm from scratch, flying her freak flag high. It had a weird name, a non-Wall Street culture, and a quirky communication style.

In 1995, when Mariko founded Daruma, only a handful of women of color owned their firms. She had to noodle out how to run a business while daily duking it out with Mr. Market and raising a family.

Today she mentors women who want to start a business, turn their side hustle into their living, better manage their finances, or work through a tricky patch in life or business.

She is also a poet, hypnotist, life coach, hula dancer, and Treasurer on the Board of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop.

Success story

Staci achieved a major milestone in the second year of business by securing her first prime contract to work on aging private wastewater treatment plants for homeowner’s associations (HOAs). With the support of mentors and knowledge she gained from the program, she can now confidently navigate her firm’s financial growth.
