Emilia Smith

Founder and CEO of Evolve Ventures Technologies LLC, and host of the Evolve Ventures

Emilia’s journey into business and human optimization didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with adversity.

After experiencing chronic traumatic memory loss from ages 4 to 25, she made a decision early in life to see her neurodivergence not as a limitation, but as a strength. That choice shaped everything that followed.

Today, Emilia is the Founder and CEO of Evolve Ventures Technologies LLC and host of Evolve Ventures, a Top 200 global podcast focused on growth, leadership, and human optimization.

A serial entrepreneur since age 6, she has built and operated across startups, publicly traded companies, and nonprofits in industries ranging from neuroscience and biotechnology to real estate, aviation, and technology. Her work connects business performance with human behavior, helping leaders operate at a higher level.

As a neurodivergent leader and mental health advocate, Emilia helps entrepreneurs, executives, and teams build emotional intelligence, resilience, and sustainable success by blending neuroleadership, mental health, and technology.

She holds a background in International Business, Finance, and Developmental Psychology, and is currently pursuing her PsyD in Psychoneuroimmunology, with certifications in Trauma Recovery Coaching and Internal Family Systems.

Outside of work, she is a proud dog mom, nature lover, and someone who actively practices the growth she teaches every day.
