Alaïa Giglio

I love creating clarity and inspiring teams to optimize operations. With a background in product and program management — in regenerative architecture and international higher education — I blend design-thinking and systems-thinking to streamline and catalyze learning and growth.

Away from my desk, I enjoy spending time outdoors running, randonneuring, surfing, and foraging. Indoors, you can find me cooking with friends and family or playing piano.
