Hey there! I'm Gabrielle, a total product nerd with a real knack for getting things done efficiently and solving problems like a boss. My career has been all about product development, and I've got the track record to prove it- promotions and salary raises were like my middle name!

But you know what? As much as I rocked it in the corporate world, I started feeling like something was off. Being the perfect corporate steward just wasn't fulfilling the life I had in mind. It was time for a change!

So, I decided to follow my heart and chase a career that truly aligns with all parts of me- the mom, the visionary, the innovator, and the go-getter. I wanted a path that let me be all of that and more.

Now, with my infectious energy, passion for innovation, and dedication to excellence, I'm on a mission to create a career that fits perfectly with my life and everything that matters to me. It's a journey of intentionality. I still tackle incredibly complex business challenges & I think outside the box, all while getting to teach others to do the same and chase their own career confidence!

Cheers to chasing our dreams and embracing all the parts that make us who we are!
