Natalia Ramirez Montigny

Natalia Ramirez Montigny is a Colombian-born marketing leader, wellness entrepreneur, and cancer advocate based in London. Before her diagnosis, she led global marketing strategies for over a decade at multinational corporations, including Diageo, living and working in Singapore, Paris, and London. Today, she is the co-founder of Maison You, a wellness retreat curation platform born from her own healing journey and a belief in the power of holistic wellbeing.

Diagnosed in 2021 with Stage IV Gastric Cancer at the age of 33, Natalia has undergone extensive treatment, including participation in a life-saving Phase I clinical trial in Paris. When the continuation of this trial was threatened, she successfully advocated for its reinstatement—an experience that ignited her passion for patient advocacy. At Digestive Cancers Europe, Natalia is committed to amplifying the voices of young cancer patients and working towards more equitable access to clinical trials, mental health support, and a more compassionate healthcare system. She believes no patient should have to fight for treatment alone.
