Her primary focus areas include fintech, proptech, construction tech, and vertical SaaS. A SoCal native and first generation American, Gabriella has always been a ‘fixer’ and puzzle aficionado.

After three years as a consultant, Gabriella transitioned to a venture role at WndrCo, a consumer technology holding company, where she worked on a broad set of initiatives from sourcing to portfolio operations. In her free time, you can find Gabriella working on the WSJ weekend crossword, playing Settlers of Catan, or hanging out at the beach with her dog, Beau. She is also very involved in fundraising and operational initiatives for Mi Casa de Angeles, the 501c3 nonprofit she founded in 2009 with the mission of improving the quality of education in underserved areas of Peru, her father’s home country.
