Nely Galan

Keynote Speaker: Independent Producer & Former President of Entertainment for Telemundo; Women's Empowerment Advocate & Board Member at Count Me In

Nely Galan Biography

Latina media dynamo and women’s empowerment advocate Nely Galán, dubbed the “Tropical Tycoon” by The New York Times Magazine, is one of the entertainment industry’s savviest firebrand talents. A first-generation immigrant and self-made media mogul, Galán was the first Latina president of a U.S. television network (Telemundo). She is an Emmy Award-winning producer of over 600 Spanish and English television episodes, including the FOX hit reality series “The Swan.” She is the first Latina to appear on “Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump” on NBC. She regularly electrifies audiences with her experiences as one of the first Latina producers in Hollywood and her rise to become a successful media and real estate entrepreneur, as well as an inspirational speaker and passionate advocate for the empowerment of Latinas everywhere.

The Adelante Movement (Move Forward!), founded by Galán, is a grassroots movement that unites and empowers Latinas socially, economically, and politically in the U.S. It encourages Latinas to play a leading role in American society, economics, and politics and become an integral part of the national conversation, to provide their children with the future they deserve, as a rightful part of this country. The Adelante Movement: Tour is a series of national empowerment conferences, supported by a digital community, presented by the Coca-Cola Company, that inform, mentor, and inspire Latinas to take action!

In 1994, Galán founded Galán Entertainment, which was responsible for creating and executive producing the smash FOX reality hit “The Swan.” As its in-house life coach, Galán wrote the bestselling companion book “The Swan Curriculum.” "The Swan" has aired in over 70 countries around the world and was famously spoofed by Tina Fey on “Saturday Night Live.” In addition, she has owned her own real estate development and investment company, Santa Clara, for fifteen years. This company has commercial and residential real estate holdings in multiple states.

Galán appeared on the NBC hit “The Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump," joining an all-star cast including Gene Simmons, Nadia Comaneci, Marilu Henner, and the infamous Omarosa. Galán’s appearance on the show, where she raised $250,000 for her charity COUNT ME IN, furthered her reputation as one of the nation’s top female moguls. As a public speaker, Galán routinely draws rave reviews for her mesmerizing presentations on the Latino market, entrepreneurship, and female empowerment.

Galan is also frequently cited for her influential work outside the industry as a board member for COUNT ME IN (the leading national non-profit provider for women entrepreneurs), the Coca-Cola Company Advisory Board, and an Emeritus member of the Smithsonian Board. She was featured in HBO’s “The Latino List” documentary and national museum show as one of the most influential voices in the Latino community.

Galán, the original “Ms. Mogul,” is also a devoted mom to her son and is based in Venice, California. She recently returned to school and is completing her Master's/ Doctorate in Clinical and cultural psychology.

Nely Galan Reviews

  • Thank you so much for the incredible keynote and presence at our event in Los Angeles. It was so exciting and powerful to have Dr. Galan take the stage, and share her inspiring journey. Her talk was energetic and changed the mood in the room! I loved how she tightly connected the theme of “Belong” into the presentation from an individual and company standpoint. Thank you for encouraging us to embrace the immigrant spirit and find ways for us to be self-made in all aspects of our lives!
