About Gabriel

A Changemaker
Built in Austin

I am a connector, strategist, and builder — someone who gets genuine energy from understanding how organizations work and finding the seams where growth hides. My career has been defined by one question: how do you turn relationships into results?

Over two decades across Fortune 500 accounts, mission-driven startups, and international markets, I have built and led sales organizations, structured multi-year institutional partnerships, and helped companies move from concept to execution. Whether closing a $2M cross-border agreement or coaching a rep through their first enterprise discovery call, I lead from the front.

I founded ReVisionED Inc. in 2018, scaling a multi-market EdTech company to 70% year-over-year growth across the U.S. and Latin America while maintaining 85% client retention. I have sold SaaS platforms, integrated technology systems, STEM curricula, security solutions, and cloud-based payment infrastructure — the common thread being a consultative, trust-first approach that turns complex value propositions into signed agreements.

I am also a father of three boys, an active Austin community member, and someone who believes the best partnerships — in business and in life — are built on curiosity, respect, and a genuine desire to see the other side win.

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.
