Gunilla Ramell has spent 25 years bridging the communications, policy and strategy gaps between the public and private sectors. Over the past five years, she has established effective neutral forums within the NGO sector to advance the mutual policy agendas of both corporations and a host of international leaders on a range of global issues critical to both parties. Examples are the creation of public-private partnerships in the biotechnology area to address the problems of hunger and infectious disease and the deliberations among corporate and government leaders regarding the admission of the People’s Republic of China to the WTO.

Experienced Advisor

Throughout her career, Gunilla has been committed to helping corporate and nongovernmental executives recruit clients and build strategic partnerships to achieve bottom-line results and penetrate markets or expand market share.  Gunilla has impressive credentials, a wide network of contacts and delivers profitable results.

Bridge Builder between Business and International Governments

The common thread running through Gunilla’s career is her role as a catalyst in sparking dialogue between business and government. As a corporate executive, she created strategic opportunities for business to communicate with government leaders. With the nonprofit world as a platform, she established a neutral forum where business and world leaders exchanged ideas off-the-record to arrive at workable solutions to frequently intractable problems without conflict.
