More About Giselle

"If there’s one thing I’ve learned over decades of work, it’s that no detour is wasted."

Every shift, every pivot becomes part of a creative life shaped with intention, discernment and care.

From banking to music, arts & (sub)culture to events & entertainment to well-being initiatives to global hackathons, I’ve learned to recognize what endures when organizations move through change, and I help bring clarity about how to move forward with steadiness and a sense of possibility.

What Makes Work Worth Doing

There was a time in my life when passion was enough. I ran on it. Music, arts, culture, creative production. I believed that if something made my heart race, that was reason enough to pursue it. And for a long time, it worked. Until it didn’t. Passion alone is not a sustainable operating system. At some point, I realized I was “ passioned out” . What I needed was not more excitement.

What Experience Actually Gives You When You Choose to Start Again

Pollinating across worlds that, on paper, do not seem connected. Many moons ago, I was an independent film and music event producer. At one point, I was a wealth management banker. At another, I co-founded a burle

Co-Creating and Sustaining Fête PH: From 40 People to a Nationwide Creative Movement

Whenever I talk about my career, people always remember the nationwide creative movement Fete de la Musique.
