Gabriella Seiler is a Brazilian entrepreneur and strategist working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, finance and nature.

She envisions a future where responsible innovation and science-based policymaking drive systemic transformation— especially in regions historically underrepresented in global decision-making. Gabriella was co-founder and COO of Kunumi, a Brazil-based AI company and certified B Corp that pioneered the application of artificial intelligence to societal challenges, from environmental monitoring to public health. Kunumi was acquired by Bradesco in 2023.

Earlier in her career, Gabriella spent two decades shaping sustainable finance and infrastructure strategies across public and private sectors, including at Morgan Stanley in New York, the International Finance Corporation in Washington, Vinci Partners in Brazil, and Brazil’s Ministry of Finance.

Currently, she is helping establish a new science and policy Institute for Biodiversity and Climate at the Serrapilheira Institute, a leading science philanthropy organization in Brazil. She also serves as an advisor and board member on AI and innovation initiatives and contributes to projects aimed at increasing racial and ethnic diversity in science and decision-making.

Gabriella holds a BA in Economics from Duke University and a Master in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School, where she was a Mason Fellow. An Eisenhower Fellow, she is a passionate advocate for the ethical design of digital futures—rooted in scientific knowledge, equity, and planetary care. She lives in Rio de Janeiro and thrives at the interface of climate, policy, and technological innovation.
