About Giselle Bonilla
I\'m a Commercial Real Estate/Workplace Strategy & Operations professional with 20 years of experience in the technology sector. My primary focus has been on strategic planning for high-growth companies. I’m passionate about capital planning, commercial interiors and construction management. I\'m actively managing the evolution of workplace programs in a post-pandemic world. My core strengths are; corporate real estate strategy, portfolio life cycle planning, M&A, facilities management (aka workplace operations), construction project management, commercial furniture procurement, corporate event planning, and culinary program management. I have extensive experience in crisis management, and corporate restructuring of real estate portfolios related to Chapter 11 bankruptcy and hybrid work.I\'m proud of the work that my teams have produced over the years and the recognition that we\'ve received for developing best in class office experiences for our employees and customers.
