He has encouraged the change of the narrative of Mexico in the United States, centering on the "construction of bridges" between the two countries. This has been done through collaboration with both public and private sectors.

Gutierrez is the author of FuturoEducativoDistritos (2013) (Educational Future: School Districts) and Open to the Parents of the Family (2014), which are based on the fundamentals of the need for decentralization of education in Mexico, the implementation of school districts, and the institutional role of parents in the family. Districts and Open have been presented in various academic institutions and "Think-tanks" in Mexico and the United States, including Brookings Institution. Gildardo is also the author of research papers that include the Education Series, used by the Institution of Mexico, of the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Academics. In 2016 he published the book, Central Corridor, that discusses the global agenda of global investment in Mexico, which is the subject of the Central Corridor law initiative (2017).

La Alianza Centro-Bajío que en 2019 han suscrito los Estados de Querétaro, Jalisco, San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato y Aguascalientes. It is based on the initiative of the Central Corridor and seeks to position Mexico as a destination of global investment.

Along with the initiative of the Districts law, it was presented by 18 congressmen and one citizen on November 6, 2014. In an unprecedented act, Gildardo Gutiérrez became one of the first Mexican citizens to rise to the platform in the Chamber of Congress, and as a private citizen, personally present a law initiative.
