Jane Macky

Meet Jane Macky, an accomplished entrepreneur, philosopher, psychologist, and digital brand strategist on a mission to solve problems in the addiction space. With years of experience under her belt, including serving as the 2020 Co-Principal Investigator with the National Institute of Health, Jane is passionate about creating change that positively impacts the world.

Jane is the former CEO and founder of We The Village, an organization that offers evidence-based training and coaching to families affected by addiction. She's a CRAFT-trained and certified coach who leverages her expertise to educate and coach concerned family members in new skills that they can apply in their lives and relationships. She holds a BA in Philosophy Psychology from Yale University and a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling/Counselor from the CCNY School of Education.

Other notable positions held by Jane include Entrepreneur In Residence at Human Ventures Co, Launch Strategist at Magpie Inc, and Strategy Director at MXM (Meredith Xcelerated Marketing). Jane's experience in these roles, coupled with her academic background, has given her a unique perspective on addiction and how to approach it.

Jane's approach to addiction is unique in that she trains families to cause a systematic ripple effect of change. By first deepening their understanding of addiction and the importance of their role in the relationship, they can then use their new skills to shift the addiction behavior systematically. This results in increased confidence and happiness for the family member, plus decreased substance use and heightened rates of treatment entry for substance use disorder.
