Gita Luz

Innovation Lead


Manila, Philippines

Building a fairer & more equitable future, one bold experiment at a time.

Gita is an experienced leader in innovation, futures & foresight, fundraising and marketing with over 17 years of cross-sector experience spanning Asia, Africa and Europe. Her work bridges the commercial and impact worlds, helping organisations scale meaningful change through the power of technology. She does this through imagining bold futures and bringing it to life with quick experimentation in order to fail fast and make evidence-based AND intuition-influenced decisions (she trusts the numbers and her gut, especially when she is working on something that’s never been done before).

At Brink, she is an Innovation Lead with expertise in Venturing, Programme Leadership and Strategic Foresight. She designs and delivers innovation programmes in Education, Health and Climate with bold founders and changemakers who are ready to move fast, test ideas, and build something the world hasn’t seen before. Her approach is grounded in behavioural science: understanding human systems is always the unlock, not the technology itself. She loves developing new ways to get people to think differently, like the Fieldtrip to the Future.

Catchphrase: “When it comes to innovation, it’s never the tech or the idea, it’s always the people 💡”

Questions Gita is exploring in their work right now

  • How can we build fairer and more equitable systems & outcomes that aren't determined by where you live in the world?
  • How do we change money so it changes the world? (Talk to me about incentives, systems and harnessing the decision-making power of money and markets.)
  • How do we learn from and amplify Global South wisdom like diskarte (creative problem solving), jugaad (frugal and flexible innovation) and ubuntu (humanity to others)?
  • How do you scale impact through the power of tech and AI?
