Elatia Abate

We live in an age of tremendous change and unbelievable opportunity. The future is ours to create. Are you ready? Elatia Abate, the founder of The Future of Now, is an entrepreneur on a mission to revolutionize the practice of leadership and empower humanity in the age of AI. Named a Forbes leading female futurist, Abate is a globally recognized expert on the future of work and strategy, helping organizations design new ways to scale and create growth — even in the face of uncertainty.

Currently the Futurist-in-Residence for Paylocity, Abate was previously the Global Director, Talent Acquisition with Anheuser-Busch InBev and Vice President of Human Resources at Dow Jones & Company. Today, through her consulting firm, The Future of Now, she works with a range of organizations — from startups to Fortune 500s — helping them manage disruption by turning strategic, future-focused solutions into manageable, executable systems.

Abate’s “Future-Led Leadership” learning and development content has helped organizations such as Verizon, UniGroup, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), Grupo Globo, CME Group, Arcus Power, GMAC (Graduate Management Admissions Council), and The College of William and Mary Raymond A. Mason School of Business. She has been featured in Fast Company, Esquire, Chief, Forbes, Exame, and La Voz, as well as in work with Trevor Noah and Tony Robbins.

The author of the career design book, Build a Career You Love, Abate is a sought-after keynote speaker on the future of work, leadership, and resilience. She has a TEDx talk titled, “Pioneering the Future of Work” and has shared her messages with such clients as Citi, NY Life, VRBO, Deloitte, Honeywell, Belcorp, and SHRM, among many others. In 2020, Abate was the only woman to contribute to the Tony Robbins Business Resiliency Expert series.

Abate earned a BA and MBA from the University of Chicago. She is an instructor for LinkedIn Learning, in the Continuing Studies Department of Stanford University, and the Executive Education Department of the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
