Bela Marie is a Brazilian-American entrepreneur, consultant, speaker, and digital educator. She is the founder of Bela Marie LLC, a consulting brand and digital education platform designed to empower high-performing women to lead with clarity, structure, and self-respect. Her work spans strategic consulting, immersive coaching, digital content creation, and public speaking, with a focus on personal development, intentional business design, and feminine leadership.
Early Life and Education
Bela Marie was raised in the United States by a single immigrant mother, who instilled in her the values of strength, resilience, and self-leadership. She displayed entrepreneurial instincts from a young age. At 13, she managed a family-owned campground, gaining early experience in systems management and operational leadership.
During college, she launched a nonprofit clothing exchange initiative that brought together families in her community. The project emphasized impact, service, and organized social contribution—values that would later influence her business philosophy.
In addition to her entrepreneurial pursuits, Bela was active in the arts. She appeared in stage productions, film, and television, and competed nationally in speech and debate. These experiences helped refine her communication skills and presence, which later contributed to her success as a public speaker and personal development leader.
Career
Bela began her executive career at age 22, serving as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for a rapidly growing company that scaled to five locations and earned national recognition. Under her leadership, the company was ranked #44 on the Inc. 5000 list and #2 in the Western United States.
After a high-level exit, Bela founded Bela Marie LLC, a brand rooted in leadership strategy, emotional intelligence, and aligned business building. Her platform includes digital courses, coaching programs, and content aimed at helping ambitious women build lives and businesses grounded in their identity and values.
Public Presence and Impact
Bela’s content reaches millions of viewers monthly through her social media platforms and digital programs. She is known for challenging conventional ideas of success and instead promoting a framework rooted in self-worth, structure, and strategic leadership.
Her teachings emphasize that self-respect is the foundation of sustainable success, and she has helped thousands of women reclaim their personal and professional power. Her work is characterized by a blend of business acumen, human behavior insight, and emotionally intelligent leadership.
Personal Life
Outside of entrepreneurship, Bela has a background in the performing arts. She has appeared in stage productions, film, and television, and competed nationally in speech and debate. These experiences helped her develop communication skills and stage presence, which she now leverages in her work as a public speaker and digital educator.
Bela is bilingual, fluent in both English and Brazilian Portuguese, and she identifies as both Brazilian and American. She continues to invest in her personal growth through mentorship, independent study, and world-class professional development. Though she keeps much of her private life out of the spotlight, Bela often shares reflections on self-leadership, resilience, and purpose through her content and speaking engagements.
