Tricia Montalvo Timm is a board director, general counsel, venture investor, and author. She is a first-generation Latina who rose through the ranks of Silicon Valley advising high-tech companies big and small, culminating in the sale of data analytics software company Looker to Google for $2.6 billion, Google’s fourth largest acquisition. She is one of the few Latinas to have attained the triple achievement of reaching the C-suite, joining the boardroom and cracking the venture capital ceiling.

Tricia currently serves on the board of directors at Salsify, a business-to-business SaaS software company whose commerce experience management platform helps brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers collaborate to win on the digital shelf. At Salsify, she is a member of the Audit Committee and Chair of the Compensation Committee. In 2023, she was selected as one of the 50 Women to Watch for Boards by 50/50 Women on Boards.

Tricia’s industry recognitions include the 2020 Women of Influence and Latino Business Leadership awards from Silicon Valley Business Journal and the title of Diversity Champion from the SVBJ Corporate Counsel Awards. With her new award-winning book, Embrace the Power of You, she hopes to inspire anyone who has ever felt like an “other” in the workplace to embrace their true selves, own their identity, and achieve success and fulfillment in their life and career.
