Macala Rose

Strategic Advisor & Thought Partner

For women in leadership who've hit something they can't think through alone.

Ever found yourself in a room you fought to be in, wondering why it's killing you to stay?

  • Maybe you're managing a work environment that's quietly making you sick — the politics, the power dynamics, the unspoken punishment for being a woman who sees too clearly — and you're supposed to call it opportunity.

  • Maybe you built something from nothing and the fire that started it has gone out. What's left is obligation, routine, and a growing suspicion that you're betraying yourself by staying in something you've outgrown.

  • Maybe you're translating someone else's chaos into functional outcomes every single day and you've started to feel it in your body, in your sleep, in the distance growing between who you are at work and who you actually are.

You've looked for help. What you found was therapists who don't understand business, consultants who don't understand people, and coaches who want to sell you a framework for a problem that doesn't fit in one. You don't need any of those. You need someone who can hold the whole thing at once. That’s where I come in.

I’m Macala Rose.

I'm Macala Rose. I've spent twenty years in the rooms you're sitting in — navigating industries that chew women up and call it culture, building and rebuilding businesses, and learning the hard way that the strategic problem and the personal one are almost always the same problem wearing different clothes.

I needed someone who could see both at once for years. She didn't exist. So I became her.

  • "Her command of facts and figures and the way she combines seemingly completely unrelated data have caused more than a few “aha” moments for me."
