Ella Vate is the barefoot, bullshit-free business leader of The Matriarchive. At 60, she’s got 4 decades of corporate leadership experience in her pocket, receipts in her tote bag, and zero patience for patriarchal gaslighting. A reformed flower child turned flamethrower, Ella’s spiritual alignment is somewhere between Namaste and Try me. She doesn’t just speak truth to power…she executes ideas flawlessly, delegates beautifully, and delivers a shot to the ego with surgical snark. From calling out performative allyship to dismantling corporate feminism with the precision of a red pen, Ella Vate is here to escalate the conversation, dismantle the nonsense, and fact-check the culture, one incisive footnote at a time. She built The Matriarchive to ensure that no oppressive system dies of natural causes.

Before The Matriarchive, Ella Vate spent four decades embedded in the beast. As a senior strategist in corporate marketing, she was the lone woman at the mahogany table long before DEI was a checkbox. She launched global campaigns, tripled brand equity for multinationals, and negotiated seven-figure contracts – usually while being mistaken for someone’s assistant.

Her degrees in psychology and economics were earned on her own dime, in her own time… between budget meetings, parent-teacher conferences, and refereeing three high-energy boys and one fiercely observant daughter. She’s been married to the same man for over 35 years, a good partner who took a while (okay, decades) to unlearn the script he inherited.

Ella didn’t become a feminist in theory, she reverse-engineered the patriarchy from the inside. She studied it in boardrooms, playgrounds, hiring committees, family dinners, and brand focus groups. She saw how inequality hides behind etiquette, how misogyny wears a tie, and how emotional labor was always a line item – just never on the paycheck.
