About Gabriel

A Changemaker
Built in Austin

I lead at the intersection of sales, operations, and business execution.

Over the past 20+ years, I've built and led teams, scaled revenue, and designed the systems that make growth repeatable. My experience includes full ownership of sales performance, operational infrastructure, and key business functions — including process design, financial oversight, and execution strategy.

I've delivered 70% year-over-year growth, 85% client retention, and measurable improvements in efficiency, response time, and team productivity.

I focus on building organizations that run effectively: teams that perform, systems that scale, and processes that create consistency and accountability. I leverage CRM platforms and AI-driven workflows to improve visibility, streamline operations, and enable better decision-making across the business.

I do my best work in environments where I'm trusted to lead, solve problems, and drive results without unnecessary friction.

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.
