“Gabby reported to me directly in a business development role at Influence Mobile (Affinity Influence Systems at the time). Gabby was great to work with. She is very versatile and creative. It was her job to secure meetings for us to pitch our product to prospective celebrity influencers. She could in the same day create a beautifully designed presentation, secure a meeting to deliver the presentation and do an amazing job working to close deals. I was always very impressed with her diversity of experience and her knowledge around social media trends. She was also well connected in the industry and knew everyone we needed to connect with. Gabby helped us develop and close several early and important celebrity partners which opened the door for more deals as we grew. I would happily rehire her again in the future! I certainly miss working with her every day. I have optimistic predictions for her career path.”

“Gabby is a true marketing powerhouse, with a solid and innovative approach to growth marketing. She was one of the first people I worked with who fully appreciated the 2-way nature of social marketing. Gabby gets involved from the outset, taking a concept from idea, to product, to market seamlessly. Specifically in terms of social marketing, she defines the opportunity as opposed to just following along with what everyone else is doing, a real asset to any project or team.”

“Gabby is one of the most driven and hard working people I have every met in my life. She is always looking how she can better herself and never satisfied with just okay. No task is too small and none to big, whatever comes her way she makes to get it done with no complaints at all. As motivated as they come, any employer would be lucky to have her on their staff.”
