About Madison

Madison Mailey is a sought-after speaker who brings insights on discipline, hard work, and building positive team cultures to audiences of all sizes—from major corporations like Cadillac Fairview, Scotiabank, and Mars Petcare to schools and community groups across Canada. Madison shares powerful stories and strategies drawn from her journey to Olympic Gold, connecting themes of resilience and goal setting with the challenges and triumphs faced in both business and personal life.

Her message of resilience and teamwork comes from lived experience. As a member of the Canadian Women’s Eight, she made history with a Gold Medal victory at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Canada’s first win in this event since 1992. Her Olympic success exemplifies the dedication and mental tenacity needed to achieve peak performance—a message that resonates across diverse audiences.

A Northeastern University alumna, Madison graduated from the D’Amore McKim School of Business with a BSBA, supplemented by a Performance Studies certificate from the New England Conservatory of Music. Inducted into Northeastern’s Hall of Fame in 2023, she was celebrated not only for her Olympic success but also for her team-first attitude and leadership on and off the water.

Now a Wealth and Insurance Advisor at the Mailey Rogers Group, Madison applies the same principles of hard work and collaboration to helping clients reach their financial goals. Dedicated to her community, she serves on the Kay Meek Arts Centre Board, BC Women’s Foundation Health Care Emerging Leaders Group, and as an Ambassador for Backpack Buddies.

From classrooms to conferences, Madison’s presentations are infused with purpose, inspiring listeners to adopt a growth mindset and see how dedication, resilience, and kindness can lead to extraordinary results.
