Hi, I’m Amanda Gillespie, Founder of MAD

This isn't just a business. It's a labor of love.

I've spent my career watching great projects become entangled in disputes and litigation that could have been avoided. I believe too many projects end up in conflict not because failure was inevitable, but because the right guidance, leadership, and communication weren't in place early enough. With proactive advisory services, intentional project leadership, and effective dispute resolution, good projects shouldn't be clogging our legal system.

When we approach construction with purpose, caring equally for the people involved and the success of the project itself, we create better outcomes. We protect investments, strengthen teams, preserve relationships, and avoid the costly issues that emerge when problems are left unaddressed.

Throughout my career, I've delivered projects of every size and complexity. I've stepped into struggling projects, rescued them from failure, and reversed attrition on efforts that others had already written off. Those experiences have reinforced a simple truth: most project challenges can be solved when informed decisions, practical leadership, and trust guide the process.

Let me help you find a better way to approach construction. From helping investors make more informed decisions, to developing smarter project delivery strategies, to preserving the relationships that make successful projects possible, my goal is to help build not only better projects, but a stronger industry.

Together, we can create the physical world around us with greater intention, fewer disputes, and lasting success.
