Biography

Monique Guild

What makes people become who they become?

That question has shaped Monique Guild's life and career.

Professionally trained in New York under renowned acting teacher Bill Alderson at The Neighborhood Playhouse, Monique began her career as an actress before expanding into producing, directing, documentary filmmaking, interviewing world-renowned leaders, keynote speaking, and advising entrepreneurs and executives around the globe.

While each chapter of her career may appear different, they have all been driven by the same lifelong pursuit: understanding the human condition.

As an actress, Monique has never been interested in playing behavior. She is drawn to discovering the story beneath the story, the hidden experiences, beliefs, losses, and triumphs that shape every character.

She examines what they love, what they fear, what they protect, what they long for, and what transformed them into the person the audience meets.

That same fascination has guided her work beyond the stage and screen, leading thousands of conversations across industries, cultures, and continents.

Whether working with founders, world leaders, artists, or families, Monique has devoted her life to examining what lies beneath the surface.

Born into the Guild and Borg families, whose legacy spans Norwegian theater, medicine, humanitarian service, entrepreneurship, and American industry, storytelling has always been woven into her life.

Raised in New Orleans, she grew up surrounded by unforgettable personalities whose complexity deepened her appreciation for character long before she understood it as a craft.

Today, Monique brings that lifetime of observation, curiosity, and experience back to acting with a depth that only life itself can provide.
