About Gabriel

Built to Lead.
Built to Deliver.

I build things that produce. Sales organizations, operational infrastructure, distribution channels, and teams. Whatever the business needs to grow, I build it and make it run.

Over 20+ years I've led across B2B sales, operations, and executive roles in technology, security, payments, and EdTech. I've founded a company, held VP titles, managed P&L, hired and developed teams, and opened markets from scratch. The thread through all of it: I take ownership, I fix what's broken, and I build what's missing.

At D2T I grew regional revenue 70% in under six months while simultaneously building the company's internal operational infrastructure: policies, onboarding systems, dispatch, compliance, and payroll oversight, all built from the ground up. At ReVisionED I scaled a multi-market organization to 70% YoY growth with 85% client retention. At CoCard I took close rates from 30% to 86% by rebuilding the sales process entirely.

I do my best work in environments where there's real work to be done: a market to open, a team to build, a system to fix, or a number to hit. I'm not a consultant who hands off recommendations. I'm the person who stays until the job is done.

Disciplined Execution
Strategy without execution is fiction. I build systems, playbooks, and accountability structures that translate vision into results.
Relationship-First
Every deal, partnership, and hire is a relationship first. I invest in people long before I ask for anything in return.
Relentless Curiosity
I ask better questions than most. Curiosity is how I uncover pain, build trust, and find the angles others miss.
Global Perspective
U.S. and Latin American market experience. I navigate cross-cultural stakeholders and international deal structures with fluency.
