Founding Director
Maud Lindley is the Founding Director of Serendis Leadership, where she partners with senior executives and leadership teams to navigate complexity, elevate performance, and build adaptive, agile organisations.
With more than two decades of experience across Asia Pacific and internationally, Maud is a trusted advisor to executives at the most senior levels of management, including across many ASX-listed organisations. Her work spans a broad range of executive priorities, from strengthening leadership effectiveness and decision-making to supporting leaders through transformation, growth and organisational change.
As an executive coach, she is known for her ability to get to the heart of complex leadership challenges and support leaders to respond with clarity and confidence in high-stakes environments. Her work has supported measurable shifts in leadership capability, team performance and organisational culture.
Maud is frequently sought out by leading Australian organisations to deliver keynotes on a broad range of leadership topics, including adaptive leadership, navigating uncertainty and shaping high-performing cultures. Her work is grounded in a belief that leadership today demands both strategic agility and human insight, and she is recognised for helping leaders translate this into practical, lasting impact.
Her expertise spans executive coaching, mentoring and leadership development, with deep expertise in financial markets, funds management and professional services. This is underpinned by an earlier career in senior roles in debt capital markets with global institutions including UBS, Société Générale and Crédit Lyonnais, based in London and Paris.
Maud is also the host of the popular podcast Mentoring Unlocked, now in its third season, where she speaks with senior executives across industries about their leadership journeys and the role of mentoring and coaching in shaping their careers. She is also a guest on prominent podcasts including Talking Business and HR Daily.
She holds a Master’s degree in Finance and Business Management from the University of Nancy II (France), along with professional coaching accreditation from the Institut des Neurosciences Appliquées.

It wasn't a single moment, but a series of experiences that led to our team's transformation. That was really with the help of Maud and the Serendis team. They really played a pivotal role in facilitating our journey, creating the environment that allowed us to connect more deeply, build trust, be clear about our leadership responsibilities and elevate our leadership as a team.
