Episode notes

“When there’s no space for you — make your own! When there’s no door — build one! Neurodiverse kids don’t need pity — they need opportunity!” – Gisselle Ramirez, Sales Executive at Shred-it, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal.

From the bright aisles of RadioShack to impactful roles at T-Mobile, AT&T, Altice USA, and The Telecom Company, Gisselle has walked the talk in telecom! 📶

But that’s only one side of her incredible story!

In this candid episode, Gisselle shares how her early love for tech and people turned into a career built on human connection and resilience. We unpack her transition from neuroscience labs 🧠 to selling copper lines and wireless bundles, and how she’s now shaping a future in information destruction and cybersecurity. 🛡️

We also dive into her passion project: "Bronx Special Kids" 🌱 — an initiative helping children with disabilities unlock independence through sustainability, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.

Gisselle talks about cosplaying, Caribbean dancing 💃, and the thrill of bungee jumping at the age of 10 years (much to her mom’s horror 😅). But more than anything, she speaks from the heart—about living authentically, creating space for neurodiversity, and building a more inclusive world!
