Elaine Montilla Biography

Elaine Montilla is a powerhouse at the intersection of technology, equity, and heart. As a C-suite leader, TEDx speaker, and founder of 5xMinority, she brings a uniquely human approach to conversations about innovation, leadership, and inclusion. She is not just breaking glass ceilings -- she is building ladders for others to climb, especially women, LGBTQ+ professionals, and people of color in tech.

Montilla blends over two decades of real-world leadership experience with the soul of a storyteller. She is just as comfortable delivering a keynote on AI strategy to global executives as she is leading a vulnerable, heartfelt fireside chat about resilience, identity, and leading with authenticity. Her talks challenge norms, spark action, and leave audiences inspired to lead—and live—with intention.

Whether you’re looking for a bold keynote, an insightful panelist, or a compelling voice for your fireside chat, Montilla delivers with clarity, warmth, and courage. She is not waiting for a seat at the table -- she is redesigning the room.

Elaine Montilla Speaking Topics

Strategies to Thrive in a Male-Dominated Workplace

You know the feeling—being the only woman in the room, rarely seeing another soul in the ladies’ room, or worse, being mistaken for someone’s assistant. For many women in tech and leadership, “making it” often means learning to succeed in spaces where the boys' club still quietly holds power.

In this honest and empowering talk, Elaine Montilla draws from her own journey as a Latina, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ executive who rose through the ranks of male-dominated industries. She shares practical strategies for overcoming bias, claiming your voice, building confidence, and navigating unspoken power dynamics. Elaine speaks directly to the challenges that women—and especially women of color—face in corporate and tech spaces, offering insights to break past barriers, set boundaries, and lead with authenticity.

This session is perfect for ERGs, women’s leadership programs, and professional development series aiming to equip women with the tools to thrive, not just survive, in any room they walk into.
The Future of Work is Human: Why Empathy, Inclusion & Trust Are the Real Tech Revolution

As AI reshapes our workflows and automation transforms our industries, one truth becomes increasingly clear: the future of work is not just about technology—it’s about humanity.

In this forward-looking keynote, Elaine Montilla explores why human-centered leadership is the competitive edge organizations can’t afford to ignore. Drawing on her experience as a technology executive and advocate for inclusive innovation, Elaine makes the case for putting empathy, inclusion, and trust at the heart of every digital transformation. She shares practical strategies for cultivating psychologically safe teams, balancing efficiency with equity, and empowering employees to thrive in the age of AI.

This talk inspires leaders to embrace the “soft skills” that now carry hard value—and reminds audiences that progress doesn’t come from code alone, but from the people behind it.

Leading While “Other”: Thriving in Spaces That Weren’t Built for You

In this candid and deeply empowering talk, Elaine Montilla shares the unspoken truths of what it means to lead while being seen as “other”—as a woman, a person of color, an immigrant, or someone from the LGBTQ+ community—within systems that were not designed for you.

Drawing from her own journey to the C-suite in the tech industry, Elaine sheds light on the silent barriers, the moments of invisibility, and the internal battles with imposter syndrome that many underrepresented professionals face. More importantly, she offers strategies to navigate these environments with confidence, authenticity, and resilience. This talk is both a rallying cry and a roadmap: it equips audiences with tools to rise, reclaim their power, and redefine success on their own terms—while also challenging organizations to create cultures where no one feels like the “only.”

Perfect for ERG groups, leadership summits, or conferences focused on equity, this session leaves audiences feeling seen, energized, and ready to lead boldly.

Inclusive Leadership in Action: Building Cultures Where Everyone Belongs

Inclusion is more than a statement—it’s a daily practice.

In this actionable session, Elaine Montilla breaks down what it really takes to build and sustain inclusive workplaces. From recognizing unconscious bias to creating systems of accountability and psychological safety, she offers real-world examples and tools leaders can use to go beyond performative gestures and create cultures where everyone is valued and heard. Elaine’s insights are rooted in lived experience and decades of leadership across education and tech.

This talk is ideal for executives, people managers, and DEI champions who want to move from intention to impact and learn how to build teams that reflect and respect the diversity of the world around them.
