My Background

I spent the first chapter of my career as an investor at Anthos Capital, a multi-billion dollar investment firm that grew AUM from $100M to over $3B over the course of my time there. I was known for being patient and selective in championing investments.  Ultimately, I evaluated thousands of companies and championed 4 investments over 5 years (two are nine figure businesses today, one exited for a 3x return on capital, and one is a pioneer in the field of spatial biology which is redefining cancer treatment). In addition to my investing experience, I served as the first leader of biz ops & strategy at Anthos. In my role, I worked directly with the firm’s managing partners and leadership team to oversee quarterly and annual planning, hired the firm’s first head of technology, redesigned the investment process to ensure more thorough diligence and psychologically safe debate, and ultimately served as a thought partner that allowed senior leaders to diagnose and solve important problems.

I launched my business in September 2022, spent a year receiving formal training in ontological coaching, became a certified coach with the International Coaching Federation, and have spent thousands of hours reading and learning about leadership, neuroscience, productivity, and psychology, as well as collecting data from original interviews on my blog, No Directions.

How I Got Here

My Approach

I’m an ICF-certified executive coach with formal training in ontological coaching — a discipline that helps clients understand how language, emotions, and physiology shape their leadership and results.

Since founding Madeline Walsh Coaching in 2022, I’ve worked with entrepreneurs and executives across industries from technology and finance to gaming, golf, and venture capital.

My work is continually informed by the research and interviews I publish. I first explored these ideas through my blog, No Directions, and now continue that work in my Substack publication, 90% Mental — a space dedicated to understanding what it means to build a strong mental game in business, sport, and life.

What is Coaching?

Beyond The Work

On the personal side, I recently moved to Rosemary Beach, FL from New York City with my partner, John, who I blame for my golf addiction. In my free time, you can find me on the golf course, perpetually dissatisfied with my game, but diligently working to break 100 for the first time (hopefully soon).
