Maddy Dychtwald is an internationally recognized author, entrepreneur, business advisor and thought leader on how population aging, increasing longevity and the ascent of women’s power are transforming the marketplace, the workplace, and our lives.

She has led numerous studies on the subject, including “The Allianz Women, Money, and Power Study” and “A New Era of Women and Financial Planning” for LPL. She is currently leading a new initiative on “Women, Longevity and Money” for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Maddy is the author of Influence: How Women’s Soaring Economic Power Will Transform Our World for the Better; Cycles: How We Will Live, Work, and Buy, and co-author of an illustrated children’s book on personal reinvention, Gideon’s Dream: A Tale of New Beginnings. Her books have been translated into five foreign languages and continue to make an impact worldwide. A highly sought-after speaker, Maddy has addressed more than 300,000 business and social service leaders worldwide, and organizations including the American Society on Aging, Allstate Insurance, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Chevron, Direct Marketing Association, Fidelity Investments, Lincoln Financial, National Association of Educators, the Network of Executive Women, and The World Future Society.

She is regularly featured in prominent national media, including Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, Fox Business News, CNBC, and NPR. She is an ongoing contributor to the Wall Street Journal’s Retirement Expert Panel, The Huffington Post, thirdage.com, and caring.com.

Together with her husband Dr. Ken Dychtwald, Maddy recently received the prestigious Esalen Prize for outstanding contributions to advancing the human potential of aging men and women worldwide. Maddy is also a founder of the nonprofit organization Women Against Alzheimer’s and serves as a board member of the BrightFocus Foundation, which funds early stage research to eradicate diseases of the brain and eye. She is also a founding member of the XPRIZE Alzheimer’s Braintrust gearing up to globally crowdsource innovation solutions to end Alzheimer’s disease.

    Larry Roth, CEO, Advisor Group
  • "Maddy gave more than a presentation. She offered an exceptional degree of intellect, passion and knowledge that was both empowering and contagious. Through various channels and methods, including PowerPoint, video clips, statistics, personal stories and genuine conversation, Maddy truly engaged our female leaders. It is clear that Maddy not only understands the political, business and socioeconomic factors that shape the world for women today, but she has a firm grasp of how those trends will evolve and impact our world in the future - and is ahead of the curve in recognizing them."

  • "Maddy captured our attention from the start! Her dynamic, information rich and provocative presentation effectively demonstrated that we are all riding a wave that has the potential to propel organizations and individuals to new, exciting ways of working and living -- or swamp us with uncertainty. Maddy’s excellent use of multimedia enabled us to hear and see the implications of this wave in our lives."
