Giselle Carr

Giselle is a Design Strategist who has worked primarily in design, marketing and brand strategy, creating environmental, social and economic value for a variety of brands. She is currently the Head of Brand and Communications at InPlanet, a German Brazilian impact-driven AgTech startup whose vision is to remove gigatons (billions of tons) of CO2 from the atmosphere by working with Enhanced Rock Weathering in tropical agriculture. InPlanet’s purpose is to create a liveable planet for future generations and more specifically, to regenerate soils and ecosystems, grow nutritious food, increase food security and sovereignty in the tropics. In this role, Giselle is working to uncover inflection points for communications that scale both the company and bring carbon dioxide removal to a wider audience, beyond the industry.

In 2020, she founded the first life-centered design consultancy in the Caribbean; prior to that she worked with a UK women’s empowerment and reforestation charity to plant seven million trees across the tropical belt. More recently, she has been recognised as part of a team awarded by Canada’s Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development “New Frontiers” Grant, which supports world-leading “interdisciplinary, high-risk, high-reward research”.

Giselle enjoys working with bright people on massive, complex problems, in service of our collective, thriving future. Also, she does everything with a whole lot of love and joy.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxPortofSpain, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPortofSpain event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. Learn more about TEDx. Learn more about TEDx
