Meet The Founder
David Otudeko
Maison de Madaci is the independent home of my writing, speaking and wider curiosity. With nearly 25 years in corporate life, I’ve learned what helps people and organisations thrive, and where they struggle.
This is my personal platform for independent writing, commentary, and select external engagements. It is a space to share my own ideas, not those of any employer.
My debut book, DEI and Me: What Grinds My Gears – From Frustration to Function, reflects that journey. Through Maison de Madaci, I share these insights through books, speaking, and creative projects, while exploring other questions that catch my attention.
Our Books
Maison de Madaci books, published through Stone Quill Press, challenge, provoke, and inspire change. They include DEI and Me, winner of the Diversity, Inclusion & Equality category at the Business Book Awards 2026. Our books explore a range of ideas, subjects and stories.
Speaking and Media
David brings nearly 25 years of corporate experience to the stage, blending strategy, storytelling, wit and humour.
He delivers keynotes that cut through the noise, chairs events that energise audiences, and joins panels where he sparks sharper, better questions.
Independent speaking and media engagements are considered on a case-by-case basis, with any potential conflicts of interest properly addressed and safeguarded against.
All independent engagements are undertaken in a personal capacity and do not represent the views of any employer.
Work With David
I believe in the power of ideas and conversations to inspire change. If this resonates, let’s connect and explore what we can build together.
