As founder and CEO of Global Creative Economy Inc., Giselle advances models that connect culture, innovation, and finance to unlock opportunity in underserved regions. Her work spans longevity zones, AI entrepreneurship and the value of intellectual property, data valuation, sustainable infrastructure, and the future of inclusive economies – examining how emerging industries from fintech to data centers can generate prosperity without exhausting people or the planet. A longtime advocate for immigrants, youth, and underrepresented communities, she has built global coalitions through OPAD (ECOSOC status), supported grassroots transformation in Medellín’s Comuna 13, and advised cross-sector partnerships linking agriculture, arts, and technology. Her perspective bridges local realities and international policy, translating complex global agendas into human outcomes. At News 9 Miami, Giselle writes on the United Nations, global engagement, sustainability, finance, creative economy, AI entrepreneurship, intellectual property, data valuation, data centers and longevity – highlighting practical pathways to uplift communities from a place of dignity. Her reporting explores the future of wealth, longevity, and shared prosperity in a rapidly changing world. Her mission is simple: development should not leave people behind – it should bring them forward together.
