Marie C. Zoutomou-Quintanilla

Marie C. Zoutomou-Quintanilla stands as a powerful example of purpose-driven leadership shaped by resilience, faith, and service. A TEDx speaker, author, international advisor, and strategic business consultant, her work centers on empowerment, self-love, and measurable community impact. Her personal mission, to touch and uplift over six million souls by 2026, emerged during her battle with cancer, a defining chapter that transformed her life and leadership philosophy.

Surviving cancer became a turning point that anchored Marie’s commitment to using her voice with intention. What followed was not only recovery, but a lifelong dedication to collaboration, shared purpose, and service-oriented leadership. She believes meaningful transformation happens when individuals and organizations work together toward a common good, a principle that continues to guide her global work.

For more than fourteen years, Marie has been actively involved with the American Cancer Society, advocating for health equity, education, and early cancer screening across communities. In 2026, she served as a Health Equity Ambassador, using public speaking and outreach initiatives to raise awareness and promote access to life-saving information at both grassroots and national levels.

Her impact also extends into education and youth development. As a PTA president and school volunteer, she has worked closely with educational institutions to ensure children have access to empowering, values-based learning resources. Her efforts include securing approval as a vendor for school books within LAUSD, reinforcing her belief that early education plays a critical role in shaping confident, resilient future leaders.

Marie is the author of two children’s book series, I Will Not Be Bullied and I Will Not Bully Others, which focus on resilience, faith, courage, and self-worth. Her adult book, You Are Being Tested. Do Not Worry., offers guidance through personal and professional challenges, emphasizing faith, positivity, self-love, and compassion as foundational principles for growth.

Recognized by International Business Times, Marie is also known for her strategic business consulting work, where she supports organizations in reducing tax liabilities, retaining top talent, and building purpose-driven cultures. Her professional experience includes involvement in NFL commercial projects, collaboration with SCORE.org, and leading educational webinars for global audiences.

In addition to her advisory work, Marie serves as Head of Advisory at AllPeople Marketplace, launching in March 2026. The platform focuses on eco-friendly and sustainable products while enabling consumers to donate a portion of every purchase to nonprofits or schools of their choice, blending commerce with social responsibility.

She is also the co-founder of NOVA1017, a skincare and makeup brand created alongside Dr. Natalya Grigoryan. Built around the message “It’s Time to Love Yourself,” the brand reflects Marie’s broader mission of empowering women through confidence, mindset, and self-care.

For over twelve years, Marie has mentored more than forty senior college students from California State University, Northridge’s Business School, offering hands-on leadership development and real-world experience. Through mentorship, speaking engagements, and community initiatives worldwide, she continues to champion the belief that when women and children learn to love themselves, entire communities transform.

As 2026 approaches, Marie C. Zoutomou-Quintanilla’s leadership remains rooted in service, authenticity, and impact, making her a compelling figure to watch among the world’s most powerful women leaders shaping the future.

To reach and impact over six million souls, collaboration is essential. This mission is built on partnerships and aligned efforts, and Marie actively welcomes opportunities to work alongside women’s conferences, businesses, and organizations seeking meaningful collaboration. Nonprofits, schools, and community organizations looking to raise funds and create lasting impact are invited to connect.

She also welcomes inquiries from businesses seeking strategic consulting support to reduce tax liability, plan for long-term sustainability, and attract and retain top talent.
