Whether you’re hosting a leadership conference in King Abdullah Financial District or a global summit in the Diplomatic Quarter, Sylvie brings clarity, presence, and relevance to your stage.
With a rich multicultural background—Austrian, French, Spanish, and Italian—Sylvie has been immersed in diverse perspectives from an early age. For over two decades, she’s shared life and countless travel miles with her German husband, whose love for efficient packing and smooth logistics has earned him the affectionate title of “family engineer on wheels.”
Her family ties extend across Switzerland, the UAE, and include regular travel throughout the Middle East, offering her not only a well-rounded international outlook but also regional familiarity. These experiences allow her to navigate cultural nuances with sincerity and deliver keynotes that feel respectful, intentional, and locally resonant. Sylvie understands the cultural codes that matter in Saudi Arabia—dignity, grace, and thoughtful professionalism—and she builds each message with these values in mind.
Previously, she served as a corporate learning executive for Europe’s largest tourism and retail group, where she designed leadership programs across Europe and Asia. Since then, her keynote journey has taken her to more than 25 countries—each presentation uniquely tailored to align with the host culture, business objectives, and audience expectations.

Though based in the United States, she spends much of her life in motion—often sketching new keynote concepts from airport lounges and window seats. These global insights inform her immersive keynote style.
Her sessions aren’t just motivational—they’re transformational. Audiences walk away thinking deeper, choosing more wisely, and leading with greater clarity and emotional intelligence.
True leadership isn’t dictated by authority—it’s revealed in the choices professionals make every day. From how they present themselves, to how they respond under stress, to how they communicate with intention.
Sylvie di Giusto gives audiences the practical mindset and tools to make intentional decisions in these moments. Her keynotes offer a blend of neuroscience, real-world leadership strategy, and professional branding insights that help teams lead with confidence and connection.
Whether addressing C-suite leaders in Riyadh or emerging professionals at global forums, Sylvie equips audiences to enhance trust, navigate perception, and lead with strategic presence.
You’ve likely seen it happen—a brilliant professional misses their opportunity to lead, a rising star loses credibility because their reputation didn’t align with their performance, or a senior executive delivers a message that fails to land. These aren’t rare missteps; they’re common and costly perception gaps. Sylvie’s keynotes are crafted to close those gaps—transforming passive potential into active leadership by helping individuals and teams understand how they are perceived, how to influence that perception strategically, and how to use it to build trust, authority, and long-term impact.
Sylvie is the author of Discover Your Fair Advantage and The Image of Leadership series—used by professionals, leadership teams, and industry experts around the world. Her work helps high-performing individuals become more intentional, visible, and trusted.
