GABRIELA AS A LEADER

Gabriela believes that success is about being in a leadership role, and managing a high-achieving team in a company that aligns with her values and mission. She values empathy, communication, and understanding of individual needs while recognizing common values that unite her team.

Leadership is not about expecting everyone to operate the same way you do.

Great Leaders know the common values among their people.

The future of leadership is value-driving and democratic.

When I think of a leader, I think of a kind, fair and strong woman.

THE TWO BEHAVIORAL CHANGES YOUNG PROFESSIONALS SHOULD MAKE ARE TO STOP THINKING YOU HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ALONE AND THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

GABRIELA ON OVERCOMING IMPOSTOR SYNDROME AND EMBRACING SUCCESS

Gabriela's biggest career challenge has been overcoming impostor syndrome, especially after moving from Brazil to Europe. She often felt like an underdog and attributed her success to luck rather than her hard work. Over time, with the support of her husband, she learned to accept and celebrate her achievements, recognizing that her dedication and efforts were the true drivers of her success. Gabriela's journey underscores the importance of self-acceptance and acknowledging one's worth in overcoming self-doubt. Young professionals should remember: You don't have to do everything alone, and you don't need to know everything. Give yourself a chance to simply start and learn more on the way.

GABRIELA ON BALANCING WORK AND MOTHERHOOD

Since becoming a mother, Gabriela has had to rethink her approach to work-life balance. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing tasks to maximize productivity. Gabriela ensures her work hours are well-organized and makes time for self-care activities like going to the gym. She is also open and honest with her colleagues about her responsibilities as a mother, fostering an understanding and supportive work environment. Her experience highlights the importance of time management, setting boundaries, and maintaining transparency in balancing professional and personal life.
