Maddy Alexander-Grout is a bestselling author, speaker, business and visibility strategist, neurodiversity specialist and hidden disability advocate. Known for saying the things other people are often too afraid to say, Maddy uses her platform to challenge misconceptions around disability, neurodivergence, money and business, while helping people become more visible, build businesses that work with their lives and brains, and make more money without pretending to be someone they’re not. Maddy is the author of Mad About Money: Managing Your Finances and Life with ADHD and is currently writing her second book, Mad About Business. She is also the founder of The Maddyverse, home to her communities, programmes and events, including Visible Fest.
As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent and disabled entrepreneur, Maddy speaks openly about the reality of living and working with hidden disabilities, chronic illness and fluctuating capacity. Her advocacy work focuses on making invisible experiences visible and challenging the idea that disability has to look a certain way. Alongside her advocacy, Maddy works with entrepreneurs and organisations on visibility, neurodiversity, business strategy and creating workplaces and businesses where different brains and bodies can actually thrive.
Her work has taken her from building businesses from her bedroom to national press, radio, podcasts and stages across the UK. She has been recognised in the Disability Power 100 and has built a large online community by sharing the messy bits as well as the wins.
Maddy’s philosophy is simple: you don’t need to become more “professional”, polished or palatable to make an impact. You need to understand what makes you different, own your story and be brave enough to be seen.
