Coach to Product Leaders & Founders | Creator of Product Leader Insider | International Speaker | Built products across 9 industries and 3 continents
you know what great looks like in product, but getting there feels hard and nebulous. I partner with product leaders to turn theory into practice through: ◻️ crafting a compelling product vision describing where the product is going in 3-5 years ◻️ developing a product strategy that guides the team what to focus on, what to say no to, and how to communicate the next steps to your team ◻️ coaching / developing / hiring their team (since you're nothing without your team) ◻️ working with people by managing up and managing across in a nutshell: i help my clients go from theory to execution given the constraints and nuances of their organization! before becoming a full-time coach, I built products across 9 verticals in both start-ups and enterprises across north america, europe, and asia. i have coached and trained hundreds of Product Managers from startups to Fortune 500 companies. i am also a public speaker and have given talks at conferences around the world all about product leadership, decision-making, and product strategy. i am originally from brazil. i speak four languages fluently (portuguese, english, french, and spanish), i love to cook & travel, and i currently live in new york city. -- what my clients say about me: "Gabi's product coaching has greatly impacted my leadership and team growth. Her warm personality and keen product sense deliver valuable insights, fostering trust and informed decisions. Her coaching enhances empathy, self-awareness, and adaptability in my leadership, significantly boosting my team's performance. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabi to anyone aiming to elevate their leadership and build thriving teams." Nate Hylan, Director of Product at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Working with Gabrielle has allowed me to restore healthy team dynamics, and to establish constructive relationships with my engineering stakeholders and my company's executive committee. Thanks to her advice and methodology, I was able to create strong buy-in for the product strategy at all levels, and received positive feedback from most teams, that the approach gave them a better sense of purpose and achievement. This alignment is key for everything that comes next. VP of product at data analytics startup --- if you are a product leader wanting to level up, send me a DM. i'm excited to see how i can help!
