In this episode of Ferocious Ambition, Monica Dominic sits down with one of the most globally minded, intellectually fierce leaders in technology today. Natasha Pongonis is a three-time founder (with her newest venture launching soon), a multilingual powerhouse, and a true example of what it looks like to live life boldly and without apology.
Born in Argentina, educated in Belgium and Italy, and fluent in Spanish, English, French, and Italian, Natasha moved across the world at just 15 years old—already leaning into discomfort, curiosity, and growth. Originally trained as an architect designing physical buildings, she later redirected that foundation into technology, business intelligence, global data insights, and now AI—helping organizations around the world understand people, culture, and opportunity at a deeper level.
Natasha’s career spans global consulting, multicultural intelligence, AI-driven strategy, and leadership at the highest levels, including participation in a White House Roundtable focused on Latina-owned businesses. At her core, she is a future-forward thinker who believes success is not inherited or prescribed—you define it for yourself.
One of the most powerful moments of this episode unfolds in the first 20 minutes, where Natasha and Monica explore the extraordinary network of men and women who support, challenge, ground, and elevate her—proof that ferocious ambition does not mean going it alone.
The words that changed her life: “Più Avanti” — an Italian poem meaning go forward. Chase your dreams. Keep moving. Always forward.
What she’s listening to: Diary of a CEO—especially the short-form clips that spark reflection and curiosity.
How she stays grounded: Leaning into her trusted circle of mentors and advisors when her mind starts to spin.
How she wants to be remembered: For living fully, boldly, and with absolutely no regrets.
Retirement plans: What does that word even mean? Natasha has no intention of slowing down—only continuing to live, build, and empower others.
This episode is rich with perspective, wisdom, laughter, and truth. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a technologist, a global thinker, or simply someone craving inspiration to live more intentionally—this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.
✨ Press play. Go forward. Più Avanti. ✨
