Gilberto's work is rooted in imagination. I am continuously working towards building an economic system that is founded on nature, driven by regeneration, that serves all people. I work on a wide range of topics that all converge on the big question: What future do we want to live in? And which steps should we take to reach it? My experiences weave a unique journey that brings together expertise in policy and politics with Web3, technology, accessibility, and spirituality.
