Madeleine Binks, MBA
Head Consultant
I hold an MBA and have spent the last 8 years working directly with over 250 healthcare providers — helping them build businesses that actually function, not just clinically, but operationally and financially.
I understand the specific pressures clinic owners face because I've partnered with them at every stage: early overwhelm, plateau, and scale. My approach is methodical without being rigid, and strategic without losing sight of the day-to-day reality of running a practice.
I don't deal in generic business advice. Everything I teach is built around what works in healthcare — the retention challenges, the staffing dynamics, the gap between clinical excellence and commercial sustainability.
Over the last 8 years, I've coached and worked alongside aesthetic clinic owners across North America, from owners just opening their doors to established million-dollar practices. The pattern is always the same: sustainable growth comes from proven systems, clear accountability, and knowing exactly what actions move the business forward each week. That's the philosophy this program is built on.

Career Consultant
Hi, I'm Hannah. Through my work with the International Institute of Aesthetic Medicine (IIAM) and Med Spa Partners (VOS Collection) — North America's largest medical aesthetics platform — I've worked with medical professionals and clinic owners at every stage of their journey, from entering the aesthetics industry to building and growing successful practices.
I've learned that no two businesses are the same. That's why my job is to understand where you are today, where you want to go, and whether Ascend MBA is the right next step for your business. If it is, I'll make sure you start this program with clarity, confidence, and a plan to ascend in your business.
I'm your first point of contact, but more importantly, I'm here to make sure every owner who joins is ready to get the most out of these six weeks.
