MCA Has Entered a New Chapter

We are pleased to share that Rebekah Diaz and Carlton Ford—longtime collaborators and founders of Diaz Inclusion Consulting—have assumed ownership of MCA, stewarding the firm’s mission into its next era.

MCA continues under its established name, values, and national reputation, now offering an expanded, fully integrated platform across the full leadership lifecycle: Executive Search and Transition Support, Organizational Development, and Leadership Development. The work, frameworks, and approach of Diaz Inclusion Consulting are now part of MCA’s core practice.

MCA is led by Managing Partners Rebekah Diaz, President, and Carlton Ford, CEO. David Mallette has assumed the title of President Emeritus.

All client relationships continue without interruption.

Thank you for your trust. We look forward to continuing our work together.
