About the CEO

Originally from Cleveland, Gabby Gabriel's extraordinary journey in the global marketing sphere began with a leap of faith when she moved from the US to China in 2012. Today, as the founder of GAB, she leads one of China's top advertising agencies, renowned for its exceptional service to a global clientele that includes industry giants like Huawei & Budweiser.

She has recently relocated to the US to expand her agency from China-specific to a global digital agency providing services in the US, China and beyond. Her journey from an English teacher to leading a multi-million-dollar business demonstrates her exceptional self-improvement and cultural integration.

Apart from her business prowess, Gabby is also a prominent figure in the LGBTQ community, advocating for inclusivity and community engagement. Her cultural project, Shanghai Love Notes, which blends photography with poetry, has significantly boosted her social media following and led to her feature in the BBC documentary "Reggie in China."
