Yoneda oversees all aspects of Seiler’s marketing and business development support functions and has been essential to the development of the firm’s brand and visual identity. She elevated Seiler’s strategic plans for marketing, brand, content, and events, and she pioneered digital transformation initiatives – which included implementing the firm’s first CRM and marketing automation platforms, among other projects. In addition, Yoneda works closely with her colleagues in Human Resources and Learning and Development on internal leadership training programs and regularly collaborates with other departments on targeted business development and marketing initiatives. She advises on competitive intelligence and partners with leaders to launch new offerings and services.

“I am honored to have been part of this amazing team for the past 10 years, where I’ve grown as a professional and in turn helped the firm grow. We’ve made great strides toward increasing the firm’s visibility and automating our systems. This is a deeply meaningful milestone for me personally, and I look forward to what the future holds,” said Yoneda.

Prior to joining Seiler, Yoneda served in marketing roles with BDO USA, Charles Schwab, and AssetMark, among others. She is a member of a number of nonprofit organizations, including the Ascend Leadership Foundation (an Asian-American business leadership organization), Oscar’s Place (an animal rescue organization), and Housing Industry Foundation (housing security non-profit), among others. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, holds a master’s degree in liberal arts, and a professional certification in board service.
