Meet Charlotte

Charlotte Ellis Maldari is the founder of Kaffeen, where she helps creatives, consultants, and small agencies win high-ticket clients using systems — not hustle.

Over the past 20 years, Charlotte has worked with thousands of service providers to replace unpredictable referrals with steady, strategic lead flow. She’s a marketing graduate (First Class Honours), MBA graduate, certified coach, two-time author (Client Magnet and an upcoming second release), and host of The Authority Builder Podcast.

Her clients have come from four continents, ranging from solo entrepreneurs to companies of 250 people, and she has spoken at events in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China, America, and across Europe. Charlotte has delivered talks to live audiences of up to 500 people and helped clients collectively generate £16M+ in additional revenue, with ROIs as high as 1,800%.

She has been featured in international media, including HuffPost, Cannes Lions, and serves as an in-house consultant for some of the world’s leading creative agencies. Charlotte is also a guest lecturer at five UK universities on the topic of creative entrepreneurship.

She’s the parent of two small-ish children and splits her time between home in London, UK and her passion for travel (52 countries visited and counting): a lifestyle her work at Kaffeen has made possible. Dual-nationality British-Italian, Charlotte is an avid skier, scuba diver, sauna enthusiast, and lifelong bookworm. She’s averse to TV unless it’s non-fiction. Her motto is care less, do more and is most frequently described by her clients as energetic, enthusiastic and action-oriented.

Charlotte gets shit done.
