Personal Corporate Detective

Hi I’m Malika !

Founder & Principal Consultant, Maelstrom Strategies LLC

I’m a systems thinker and creative problem-solver with a knack for bringing order to complexity. With a background that spans business operations, technical leadership, and software development, I specialize in transforming high-pressure, chaotic environments into focused, results-driven outcomes. Whether I’m leading product development cycles, untangling organizational challenges, or building scalable digital solutions, I bring calm, structure, and momentum where it's needed most.

Maelstrom Strategies was born from my natural ability to navigate turmoil with clarity. Named for both the chaos I often step into and my nickname "Mal," the firm reflects a core truth: I excel under pressure, and I help teams and systems do the same.

With experience leading cross-functional teams, designing user-first platforms, and managing complex projects end-to-end, I’ve worked across sectors to support impact-driven organizations and entrepreneurs. I bring fluency in agile workflows, stakeholder communications, and data-informed decision-making—often bridging gaps between technical and operational spheres with ease.

Above all, I’m deeply committed to mission-aligned work. Whether supporting public sector innovation or collaborating with partners to tackle large-scale challenges, I offer integrity, insight, and initiative every step of the way.
