Head of Marketing

Gaby is a dynamic marketing strategist, communications consultant, and thought leadership coach with over a decade of experience in amplifying underrepresented voices and purpose-driven brands. As the founder of The Way We Lead, Gaby specializes in executive podcast production and communications consulting for purpose-driven founders and underrepresented leaders in their fields.

Summary and Highlights:

Drawing from a decade of experience in EdTech, Gaby has shaped thought leadership platforms for executives, academics, and New York Times best-selling authors. She leveraged this expertise to develop thought leadership programs, which empower women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ individuals to amplify their impact and bridge the representation gap in media and thought leadership.

As a thought leadership coach I help my clients identify and clarify their unique story, and get clear on their value. Whether you dream of writing articles and books, being featured on podcasts or major media, or get selected to sit on panels or give keynote speeches—I help you build the confidence to share it bravely, boldly, and proudly.

Coaching Vision:

Our world is crying out for a new kind of leadership and our stories are powerful vehicles for change. 

In the face of polarization, climate crisis, and global upheaval, we need leaders who take bold stances, speak up and out, and are willing to share their message to create a brighter future.

I believe in a world where more women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ people step out in front of the curtain to tell their stories, unearth their wisdom, and transform the world.
