Turning possibility into progress

Mauricio Giammattei is a brand strategist with equal parts creativity and business sense—a rare mix that makes him as comfortable in a boardroom as in a brainstorm. As a working affiliates  of Luna Experience, he turns complex ideas into clear, compelling brands, fueled by strategy, design, and a healthy dose of hard work. Known for his relentless drive (and occasional dad jokes), Mauricio helps brands not just look good, but make sense.

Growing up, Glenn’s father instilled in him – through words and example – the importance of being involved in the community. So it’s no surprise that he’s dedicated his entire professional life to purpose-driven pursuits. 

After successful tenures at Boston University, Fenway Health, Florida International University, and Miami Dade College Foundation, Glenn struck out on his own when he created GKollaborative, a strategic advising practice working with small- and mid-size organizations.

With the creative freedom and flexibility of time that comes from doing your own thing, he jumped at the chance to create LUNA. It actually fulfilled a long-standing dream of teaching others. Today, LUNA has become a passion project, because, hey, sleep is highly overrated.

As a passionate storyteller, Kevin has spent over 25 years helping organizations build brands with purpose and impact. From global names like American Express and FedEx to local startups and NGOs, his experience has taught him how to uncover what truly matters and turn it into visual, verbal, and experiential stories that inspire action.

Since 2007, he has led MOK2 Brand Intelligence and Design as partner and creative director, guiding mission-driven organizations to grow stronger, more authentic brands that change the world. As a partner and instructor at LUNA, he brings this same passion to helping organizations in our community reach their goals, whether fundraising or scaling, by crafting the most powerful story they can tell: who they are and why they matter.
