Episode 42 - Money With a Mission: Building Wealth with Purpose
With Monika Mantilla
In this powerful episode of Her Money Moves, host Staci LaToison sits down with the trailblazing Monika Mantilla—CEO of Altura Capital and the first Latina to lead the largest private equity firm in the U.S. From her journey immigrating from Colombia to managing millions in strategic capital, Monika shares how she built a career around equity, purpose, and impact. She walks us through the founding of Altura, how she raised capital against all odds, and why investing in overlooked communities creates long-term generational wealth.
This conversation is a masterclass in purpose-driven finance. Monika talks candidly about being underestimated, pivoting through recessions, and how “killing them with competence” opens doors for Latina leaders in male-dominated industries. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking for funding or a professional hoping to transition into investment and private equity, Monika’s insights will leave you inspired and ready to act.
