I’m drawn to how people and ideas grow over time.
It often starts with excitement — a new idea, a project, or the sense of possibility that comes with learning something new.
As things unfold, the experience often shifts. Learning becomes more complex. Direction can feel less clear. Initial excitement and motivation can fade, and things can start to feel heavy.
I work with people at different stages of that process and in different capacities — helping create clarity and structure, untangling complexity and creating understanding, or working more hands-on to move things forward in a practical way.
So they can keep going, stay connected to what matters to them, feel a real sense of progress along the way, and experience the pride of bringing something meaningful to completion.
Seen in and in Collaboration with
Services I Offer
Coaching &
Mentoring
Through coaching, you gain clarity on what’s holding you back and how to move forward. Together, we’ll identify obstacles and create clear, actionable steps. You’ll be supported and held accountable throughout the process—empowering you to take consistent action and reach your project goals.
Within my areas of expertise—such as self-employment, marketing, branding, research, and studying—I combine coaching with mentoring, sharing my experience and advice to best support you.
Project Support
Need more than just someone to brainstorm with—someone who actually jumps in and gets things done?
Maybe your project involves a mix of tasks, and no single “expert” feels like the right fit.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a quick learner who loves new ideas and thrives on variety. With a broad skill set, creative problem-solving, and a roll-up-my-sleeves attitude, I’ll help you keep the ball moving and make real progress.
Lecturer &
Speaker
Looking for someone to deliver engaging lectures, talks, or workshops that truly connect with your students, community, or podcast audience?
I create content that resonates on topics like consumer behavior, personal branding, self-leadership, solo entrepreneurship, authenticity, personal growth, and motherhood. My focus is to equip your audience with practical insights and tools they can use—tailoring my content to fit their unique needs and interests.
With AI taking care of the repetitive stuff, we get more time to focus on what really makes us unique. It’s our creativity, our personality, and our vision that matter most. Let’s lean into those strengths and celebrate being human—imperfect, creative, and true to ourselves.

About Gabriela
I grew up in a stable home in Switzerland, where I loved structure and familiarity. Through my husband, I discovered a taste for adventure—finding a balance between my need for order and a curiosity for new challenges.
I get excited about turning ideas into reality. Taking action is my thing, and I can’t stand seeing great ideas left undone.
I hold a Master’s in Business and Law and a PhD in Business and Economics, with a focus on digital consumer behavior and branding.
My career journey took me from corporate tax to research, marketing consulting, and teaching, including collaborations with Harvard Business School and industry partners.
These days, I’m a self-employed mom of two (soon three), happily married and living in London. I didn’t always take the easy route, but I took intentional action to create a lifestyle that lets me live a work-life balance that feels fulfilling and authentic—and I’m committed to keeping it that way.
