Meet Dr. Maya

The Founder


Elite Executive | Visionary Strategist | Leadership & Organizational Expert

When I first began my journey, I never imagined how deeply I would connect with the mission of helping leaders and organizations bring their ideas to life in meaningful ways. For nearly two decades, I’ve worked alongside nonprofits, for-profits, and government teams—guiding them through challenges, redefining their purpose, and creating systems that accelerate impact, boost productivity and facilitate joy. 

I’ve walked the path of scaling organizations, coaching leaders, and championing communities. I understand the challenges of leading with purpose, but I also know the incredible power of clarity, connection, and a well-crafted plan. And as a coach, mentor, adjunct professor & national thought-leader, I’m proud to nurture the next generation of leaders who will carry this work forward.

Bottom line: I help influential nonprofit leaders, Fortune 500 executives & high-impact companies navigate complex transformations through strategic vision, authentic leadership development, and sustainable culture change—delivering measurable ROI within 6 months.
 

Together, my clients and I craft strategies that honor their values and create lasting impact—impact that will resonate with their teams, their companies, and the communities they serve.

JOY IS FREEDOM!

"Joy is a freedom. It helps a person to find their own liberation. The person who is joyous takes responsibility for the time they take up and the space that they occupy."

"Dr. Maya is perfectly poised to deliver outstanding results."

"From the outset, Maya conducted a comprehensive organizational assessment of our culture. Her approach was thorough, analytical, and always rooted in listening to the many voices within our nationally distributed learning organization. The insights she gathered formed the basis for a theory of change and organizational strategic plan that was both visionary and practical, inspiring and actionable."
