Ellie Nieves

Fresh out of law school, Ellie Nieves cut her teeth in the high stakes game of New York City politics. Often the youngest, and many times the only woman, sitting at the table, she earned a reputation as a much sought-after strategist. Through her unrelenting work ethic and natural leadership ability, she was recruited for campaign leadership roles such as New York State Political Director and Campaign Manager for national and city-wide campaigns. Ellie eventually transitioned into the private sector and became an award-winning attorney for the Government Relations department at MetLife; later working as Chief of Staff to the President of MetLife International.

Today, Ellie is a Leadership Speaker, Writer and Coach. She is also the Founder and President of Leadership Strategies for Women®, LLC.
