Gillian “Gigi” Sagansky is a published writer, music curator, host of the Driven Minds Podcast, and US Director of the NGO Help 99.

She began her music career performing at prominent clubs throughout New York, which lead to private bookings and a client roster including Bulgari, Cartier, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Van Cleef & Arpels, Vanity Fair, Yves Saint Laurent, the opening night of the Tribeca Film Festival, and more.

After graduating from NYU in 2012, she took a staff position in the features department at US Vogue. She then went to W magazine, where she worked as their contributing features editor until 2020.

Inspired by her own arduous mental health journey, in December of 2020, she launched her mental health podcast, Driven Minds, in partnership with Porsche AG’s editorial platform, Type 7.
