03 / STORY
I’m Gabriela. A Venezuelan entrepreneur based in Miami, a mother of four, and a firm believer that creativity belongs at the decision-making table.
Co-founding four ventures and starting again more than once shaped how I work: ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and think three steps ahead.
I’ve built businesses in Caracas, Bogotá and Miami, connecting a Latin American perspective with the opportunities and demands of the U.S. market.
