Marise Mackay is a global brand and learning leader turned identity and resilience coach who supports leaders navigating change. With over a decade of experience leading global brands and driving learning and development in the beauty industry, she now empowers purpose-driven leaders to reclaim their voice, clarify their identity, and lead with audacity.

As a coach, speaker, and facilitator, Marise specialises in identity, resilience, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. She works at the intersection of personal transformation and leadership, helping individuals rise through transition, loss, burnout, or reinvention with clarity, conviction, and a deeper sense of self.

Her work is rooted in the belief that when people anchor into who they truly are, they lead themselves and others differently, and in doing so, change the world, one imperfect and striving human at a time.

As the founder of the DreamGirls Academy Mentoring Program, Marise brings together strategic insight, a heart for service, and hands dedicated to helping and healing in community. Her approach continues to have a lasting impact.
