Madeleine Shaw

Social Entrepreneur | Mentor | Writer

I am a serial social entrepreneur, speaker and author based on unceded traditional Coast Salish territory (Vancouver BC).

I have founded and co-founded multiple for-profit and charitable organizations, most notably Aisle (formerly Lunapads), a groundbreaking B Corporation that was one of the first companies worldwide to champion sustainable menstrual health and equity.

My role as Chief Impact Officer at Aisle is working with organizations--including employers, post-secondary institutions and governmental bodies--to enhance their menstrual equity and sustainability initiatives through the provision of reusable menstrual products.

I frequently speak on the topics of social entrepreneurship, sustainable solutions to period poverty, and menstrual equity. In April 2023 I launched Nestworks, a family-friendly non-profit co-working community.

My first book, The Greater Good: Social Entrepreneurship for Everyday People Who Want to Change the World, was published in October 2021. All of my projects and other writing are linked here: https://linktr.ee/ohmadeleine
