A Visionary Entrepreneur and Leader in Investments and Microfinance.
Originally from Huancayo – Peru, Gisella Carrillo has built an inspiring entrepreneurial journey marked by perseverance, innovation, and a strong commitment to economic growth. With a background in chemical engineering, she began her career in sales and, thanks to her determination and talent, quickly climbed the ranks to hold supervisory positions in the textile industry and a prestigious luxury furniture brand.
Driven by her passion for continuous growth, she complemented her experience with courses and mentorship programs, eventually becoming a speaker herself. Her vision led her to the world of investments and microfinance, where she identified a critical gap in access to credit for small entrepreneurs. This insight led to the creation of Grupo Carrillo Royalty (Carrillo Royalty) a company that, for over eight years, has provided financial support to more than 1,200 micro-entrepreneurs excluded from the traditional banking system, helping them scale their businesses and improve their quality of life.
With a strategic mindset and a focus on expansion, Gisella has taken her business model beyond Peru, forging alliances and exploring opportunities in international markets. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge and ability to drive impact have positioned her as a leader in the financial and business sectors.
Beyond her professional success, Gisella Carrillo is a true example of balance between business leadership and personal life, standing out as a woman of strong values.
Her story is a testament to determination, vision, and excellence.
