Tell us about your background:

My professional experience has been centered around brand building and marketing specialist. I had the opportunity of heading the marketing division for the North America region of the third largest hospitality group and its portfolio of brands. I have worked on retail as well and loved branding so much that I created my own. Three years ago I launched Madame Gabriela Beauty, an award-winning non-toxic lip brand, securing partnerships with top retailers like Free People, Anthropologie and Moda Operandi.
