Came across a post on SuperShe Island the other night while scrolling. It didn’t say much about the background. Something felt unfinished. But it pulled me in and landed here.
Turns out, the woman behind it, Kristina Roth, wasn’t from the usual yoga retreat kind. No bias here. Back in 2006, she started a boutique firm called Matisia Consultants in the US. Think business intelligence, ERP systems, digital transformation classic enterprise stuff. Within a few years, she had Microsoft and T-Mobile as clients. By 2015, her firm was pulling in $45 million in revenue. Forbes even listed her under Fastest-Growing Women-Owned Businesses.
But then, something shifted.
Roth started curating retreats. Small, private ones in places like Hawaii and Turks & Caicos for women. In 2017, Roth purchased 8.4 acres off the coast of Finland. Just trees, sea, and silence. She called it SuperShe Island. Four cabins, one sauna, open sky, shared meals, long pauses. It officially opened in 2018, hosting 8–10 women at a time. Not sure of cost details, eligibility (open to all or restricted people) and other details. And then, it vanished.
In late 2023, SuperShe Island was sold. No big announcement. The website is not accessible or live now. The new buyer didn’t share much either “no specific plans,” they reportedly said. Some online report claimed it got absorbed into a larger consulting firm. Some mentioned Akkodis (a global tech firm under Adecco Group). But none of them is clear. No press release. No trace of an official acquisition.
So here’s what we know. Matisia Consultants is no longer active under that name. There’s no public confirmation about what happened post SuperShe.
This isn’t a story of rise or fall. It’s just a phase or maybe a cycle. One chapter folding into another. People build things. Let them go and build another one. Not everything ends with a mic drop. Some just drift into the quiet they once tried to create for others.
And women who build something different even if only for a while are worth giving a shout out.
Cheers!

Thank you for going down this rabbit hole. Not what I was hoping to find, but I appreciate you doing the legwork. 🙂
