About me

Personally, I love sports: Surfing, boxing, and yoga. You'll likely catch me in my free time learning new skills, reading, and salsa dancing. I've been building companies since I was 19 and have been actively involved in +10 projects. I'm currently building Landa Club the first community of senior independent advisors in LatAm, aimed at supporting startups across their growth cycle.

CLIENT KURIOS (YC S21)
Sales Strategy: Definition of Enterprise ICP for Kurios (YC S21)
10 hrs/week
Carlos Lau
CEO, Founder

Gabriel was instrumental in the definition of our Enterprise ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) @Kurios. As an early YC and VC-backed company striving to expand across LatAm, I'm confident this will be a fundamental resource for our sales leaders to prioritize efforts and go for the accounts with a higher likelihood of closing. This is the second time I've worked with him, and can't wait for him to add more value over the months. Don't blink twice if you have the chance for him to help out.

As an expansion expert, Gabriel was key in helping our strategy team at Doordash validate hypotheses when deciding to enter the Latin American market, ultimately helping us take the leap in an informed manner. I’d highly recommend him for any engagement, plus working with him is a breeze! Thanks for everything.

Client: Wally POS (NYSE: BAP)
Helped WallyPOS, a B2B SaaS solution, define who their ideal customer was, and how to better direct their sales team to find them.

Fernando Langschwager
CEO

I'd strongly recommend Gabriel's work. Before we started working together, we didn't have a clear understanding of who our high-value customers were and how to keep looking for similar profiles out in the market. Now I can safely say that my sales team is targeting customers for which the Wally POS solution makes the most sense and we're already reaping the benefits of the increase in conversion.

Andrés González
Co-CEO Founder

As we planned our expansion strategy to Mexico, our most relevant launch across LatAm, we knew an expert on the ground would help us accelerate its success. I came across Gabriel’s profile and we agreed to work together for 4 months where he swiftly ran everything from the initial entity set-up, opening a bank account, first hires, initial partnerships, and local product adjustments. I can’t recommend working with him enough, especially when trying to soft-land into the Mexican market.
