As Senior Director, Investments and Innovation, Gabriel leads the transportation, energy, built environment, and water portfolios, supporting more than 75 companies across those verticals. In addition to pipeline development and due diligence, he has directly overseen more than 40 new and follow-on investments, deploying more than $30M in catalytic capital into companies like Dimensional Energy, Found Energy, Seabound, Bedrock Energy, and Forum Mobility. He has helped to co-design and manage more than 30 first-of-a-kind and early commercial projects in Africa, Europe, and North America, including deployments such as Bedrock Energy’s first geothermal deployment in Austin, TX; Noon Energy’s first commercial deployment of their long-duration energy storage solution in California; and Fervo Energy’s apprenticeship program development with SUU. He also provides coaching and support to his companies as they work through various strategic challenges as well as introductions resulting in tens of millions of dollars of coinvestment from leading investors. His diverse background spanning multiple startups gives him unique insights into the challenges of building an early-stage company as well as a strong network from which to draw potential partners and ideas. Similarly, his operational roles in past companies give him extensive on-the-ground experience developing local partnerships, which provides key insights into successful project deployment.
