Liliam Montilla — known simply as Liliam — was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and raised in New York City. She earned a B.F.A. in Acting from Nazareth University, where she also served as Student-Body President.
From the stage to the boardroom, she has built brands and led operations across artificial intelligence, film, entertainment, finance, real estate, and beyond — always finding value where others see complexity.
Today she runs Employee AI — the first AI agency in the Bronx, New York.

Born in the D.R., raised in NYC, a B.F.A. in Acting — where the discipline of performance became the foundation for everything after.
While working three jobs and acting on stage, she led the student body with a five-point plan for life after graduation — launching Financial Fridays and rallying a campus-wide COVID petition that moved grading policy.
She organized and led marches, and connected with student leaders across New York State — turning a campus platform into real momentum for the people around her.
Her film season — roles in independent films (including one executive-produced by Meryl Streep), an HBO short, Keep the Leap (2022), and Netflix — with premieres at LALIFF and the New York Latino Film Festival.
After the cameras, she went to live with the Sisters of Saint Joseph — women she will be grateful for as long as she lives. They took her in. They mentored her. They cared for her. They raised her up while she earned her financial licenses, and they loved her through every step of it.
Thank you — truly, deeply, forever. For everything. I would not be who I am without you.
National commercial work for Circul and Yale — carrying the craft from festival screens into the commercial world.
She earned four financial licenses and became a financial advisor at Equitable Advisors — on pace to become the firm's #1 female advisor. Then she walked away to build something of her own.
She launched Employee AI — one of the first AI employment agencies — turning a performer's instinct for people into a company.
Growing her business — and partnering with companies like Anthropic to bring AI to businesses.
