Laura Katayama • Thanks-A-Ton Co-Founder

“I LOVE working with Giulia!  She is a visionary emerging leader at the intersection of art, technology, data science and systems improvement.  Giulia is absolutely brilliant and a deep thinker.  She is also very creative, inspiring, a great writer and collaborator, and always willing to contribute. Giulia has a passion for creating stories that connect people and build community. She is also a very talented artist.  Giulia's art depicts causes that affect humanity and people feel a real emotional connection with her art.  Through the exploration of art and science in increasingly diverse media, Giulia creates and fosters emotional connections that support mental health as well.  With Giulia's many interests and talents, she is truly a modern renaissance woman.

Giulia approaches her endeavors with a project management mind-set.  As a case in point, fresh out of engineering school, Giulia was one of the original architects of BootUp, a free carbon dioxide removal training program available to everyone that is offered thru AirMiners.  BootUp has been a very successful program, not just in terms of enrollment, but also action.  Many of the people who complete BootUp go on to launch carbon dioxide removal startups.  ”
