Leilani Münter is a force of nature—literally and figuratively. An accomplished environmental activist, former professional race car driver, and award-winning documentary filmmaker, she has defied expectations at every turn. With a compelling blend of adrenaline-fueled action and passionate environmental advocacy, Leilani brings a unique voice to the stage—one that energizes audiences and ignites change.

Known as “the carbon-free racer,” Leilani has spent her career pushing boundaries both on and off the track. Her journey from racing at 200 mph to advocating for renewable energy and ocean conservation has captured the world’s attention, and her keynote presentations are a masterclass in authenticity, courage, and actionable impact. Leilani isn’t just a speaker—she’s a movement.

Leilani has been recognized by ELLE Magazine as one of the top “Eco-Heroes” of the planet and named among the “Top 10 Female Race Car Drivers in the World” by Sports Illustrated. She’s graced stages at global events such as SXSW, the United Nations, and the National Press Club, where she brings a rare combination of inspiration and substance that few speakers can match.

From driving a Tesla Model S and living a vegan lifestyle to installing solar panels on her home and refusing sponsorships from companies misaligned with her values, Leilani embodies the change she wants to see in the world.
