About Gabriel Szulik

MBA from Duke University (Fuqua School of Business), ICF-certified executive and leadership coach (Rutgers, Heidrick & Struggles), Six Domains of Leadership Certified Coach (Delta Leadership), with 25 years of real-world hands-on senior executive experience. Helped grow Red Hat from startup to a $4B enterprise. Expertise in global leadership, international expansion, go-to-market strategy, and business development. Proven record of building high-performing teams across cultures and geographies. Multicultural and multilingual, currently coaching leaders and teams in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

My Philosophy:  Hire talented people you can trust, give them the tools they need, empower them, let them build, make decisions, and run the business. Two caveats: 1) stay informed (no surprises), and 2) be willing to step in and make tough decisions.

Gabriel was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided keen insights as we advanced our next chapter in our LATAM strategy and revenue growth at Tricentis. He brought sharp strategic vision, a deep understanding of regional market dynamics/levers, and a pragmatic approach to the next steps ahead. His guidance helped clarify priorities, align leadership, and accelerate go-to-market decisions that drove measurable impact and guided our LATAM business to accelerate faster and more impactfully. I highly recommend Gabriel and I consider him a trusted partner, friend, and mentor for navigating growth, change, and complex market landscapes.
