Madelynn Martiniere is a facilitator, designer, and strategist specializing in collective innovation—the conditions and infrastructure that enable ecosystems to cultivate community resilience and tackle wicked problems together.

For almost two decades, she has worked across sectors and scales to build innovation ecosystems that center open access, community ownership, and collective power. Her portfolio spans the globe: co-designing an entrepreneurship hub for refugees in Uganda, leading development for a digital platform for sustainable fisheries in Latin America, facilitating data sovereignty initiatives toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and stewarding a global movement of founders and funders building businesses that balance profit and purpose.

A co-founder of Armillaria and former Executive Director of Zebras Unite, she has spent over 15 years bridging local practice with systems-level change—developing the social, organizational, financial, and technical infrastructure that enables communities to produce, govern, and share the technologies shaping our future.

She currently serves on the boards of Communitere International, which builds community resilience infrastructure in crisis and post-crisis contexts, and the Holochain Foundation, advancing peer-to-peer technology for community-owned digital infrastructure.
