Maya Rooz | Focus, Energy & Wellbeing Through Structure

Senior leaders are hired for the quality of their judgement. Almost none of them are given the conditions to protect it.

- Maya Rooz -

Maya Rooz spent fifteen years inside some of the world's most complex organisations, including Chief of Staff to the Chief Marketing Officer at Jaguar Land Rover and leadership through Saab Automobile's Chapter 11 restructuring. That experience is the foundation of this practice.

The methodology is built on a simple premise: structure, environment, and systems determine the conditions leaders operate in. Change the conditions and the quality of thinking, decision-making, and leadership changes with them.

Maya is an ICF-accredited coach, has spoken at Reuters Automotive, the IB Global Conference, and the Women Automotive Network Europe Summit, and is the author of The Protected Mind, publishing November 2026.

THE WORK

The most expensive thing in your organisation is the quality of the decisions being made at the top.

Most senior leaders are operating inside systems that were built for speed and visibility, not for the kind of thinking their roles actually demand. Back to back meetings. Fragmented days. Constant context switching. No protected time to think. These conditions quietly and systematically erode the quality of judgement that the organisation depends on.

The people at the top are skilled and committed. The system around them has simply never been designed for the level of thinking their roles require.

That is a design problem and design problems have solutions.

Leadership Systems for Cognitive Bandwidth

Working with boards and senior leaders to improve attention, focus, and execution under pressure.

ORGANISATIONAL FOCUS

A half-day workshop for leadership teams. We identify where attention is being lost, where decision quality is being compromised, and what the system needs to change. Teams leave with shared language and a clear picture of what to address first. This is where most engagements begin.

The 90-Day Reset A structured three-month engagement for the senior leadership team. We redesign the operating conditions — meetings, rhythms, protected time, decision architecture — so the team can think and lead at the level the organisation actually needs. This is the flagship engagement.

Best for:

Leadership teams, senior contributors, and organisations operating under sustained pressure.

SPEAKING

Keynotes and leadership sessions for conferences, offsites, and executive forums. Built around one central argument: the conditions senior leaders operate in determine the quality of their judgement.

Available for in-person engagements internationally.

Best for:
Senior audiences

EXECUTIVE COACHING

A confidential 1:1 engagement for senior leaders who need a structured space to think clearly, sharpen judgement, and make better decisions under sustained pressure.

This is not performance management or personal development. It is a thinking partnership for leaders operating at the edge of their capacity, where the quality of every decision carries real consequence.

The result is clearer priorities, steadier decision-making, and a leader who protects their most valuable asset — their judgement.

Best for:

C-suite leaders, board members, and senior executives.

"Maya is a personal trainer for my mind. Working with her has given me a private, safe space to release what I don’t always feel comfortable sharing elsewhere, especially as a CEO. She creates the space to open up, release the burden, and get perspectives I wouldn’t always see on my own”.
