Next-Gen Advisory Council
I’m Giulia Pappalardo, an Executive Commercial Analyst at Itaú Bank in Asunción, where I develop high-impact promotions, analyze partnership data, and drive customer-growth strategies.
With a cum laude degree from UC Berkeley in Media Studies and Environmental Economics, I bring sharp analytical insight—and I’m truly excited to contribute to Opulense’s vision.
I’m Nicole Prozan, and I am excited to bring my M&A experience from West Monroe’s High Tech & Software practice—spanning govtech, fintech, and cybersecurity across startups to $1B enterprises—to Opulense.
As a Berkeley graduate and former President of 180 Degrees Consulting, I’m energized to contribute meaningfully to Opulense’s mission and growing impact.
I’m Alexandria Young, and I bring experience from K1 Investment Management and AlphaSights—supporting PE and VC clients through diligence and market research—to this advisory role at Opulense.
As a UC Berkeley graduate and former student-athlete passionate about AI, I’m excited to contribute to Opulense’s mission and purpose-driven innovation.

Who We Are
The Opulense Next-Gen Advisory Council is a curated, globally diverse group of emerging leaders who bring forward-looking insight into technology, markets, and cultural change. Their perspectives strengthen our understanding of next-decade opportunities and deepen our connection to how innovation is shaped by new generations.
The Council serves as a strategic intelligence layer—enhancing how Opulense interprets signals, trends, and shifts across global ecosystems.
Our Mission
To bring digitally native, AI-fluent, and globally informed insight to Opulense—reflecting how emerging generations influence markets, behavior, and innovation. Council members help us anticipate what’s coming next and evaluate opportunities with relevance, clarity, and long-term perspective.

They help us interpret what’s next—not what’s already known.
