Madison Mailey Biography

Madison Mailey has earned her place in history as an elite athlete, sitting in six seat of the Gold Medal Canadian Women’s Eight at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. This was the first medal in the event since 1992. She was the glue in her boat and helped nine women dream big, work with intention and embrace individuality. Madison perfected her craft over her 11-year rowing career and holds the U23 world best time in the W8+, has multiple world podium finishes at the World Rowing Events, and formally retired after becoming an Olympic Champion in 2021.

Madison Mailey is a graduate of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. During her time as a Husky, she completed a BSc In Business Administration from the D’Amore McKim School of Business; a certificate in Performance Studies from the New England Conservatory of Music; and rowed as a Division 1 Varsity Athlete and member of Canada’s National Rowing Team.

A two-time U-23 World Champion, Madison Mailey clinched back-to-back gold medals at the World Rowing U23 Championships in 2017 and 2018. She honed her skills in rowing at Northeastern University, where she rowed from 2015 to 2018 and was a pivotal member of the varsity eight team that competed in the NCAA Championships.

In 2023, Madison Mailey was inducted into Northeastern University’s Hall of Fame.  At the November Ceremony, speakers attested to her mental and physical tenacity and team spirit attributes which took her from student-athlete to Olympic Champion.

Off the water, Madison has a passion for singing classical music, holding a Certificate of Merit in Music Performance from the New England Conservatory. She graduated from Northeastern in 2018 with a degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship and is currently pursuing a career in the investment industry, studying with the Canadian Securities Institute.

Today, Madison has returned to her Northshore roots. She enjoys working as a small business owner for scotia wealth management, at West Vancouver’s ScotiaMcLeod office for the Mailey Rogers Group. Madison Mailey also proudly serves her local and regional communities on Boards and through athlete ambassador programs.

July 31st, 2021, is a day that will be indelibly etched into Madison’s memory, standing on the Olympic Podium, watching the Canadian Flag being raised and belting out “O Canada”. But one thing that Madison refers to is that memory is not what she remembers most of her time rowing but instead the countless hours of hard work, her incredible teammates and the tough conversations that lead to growth. As cliché as it might sound It’s all about the journey, not the outcome.
