Where Passion Meets Drive.
At GAB China, passion fuels everything we do — but it’s our drive that sets us apart. We’re a diverse collective of over 70 specialists and global advisors, working across markets, industries, and time zones with one shared focus: building brands that perform.
We work smart and we work hard — not for the spotlight, but for the result. Our team brings bold thinking, creative discipline, and operational excellence to every challenge, pushing projects beyond expectations and into real impact.
Authenticity is our operating system. We show up fully, speak with clarity, and lead with purpose. Whether we’re launching a brand or scaling a global campaign, we bring a results-first mindset and an unshakable commitment to delivering what we promise — and more.
Excellence here isn’t a finish line — it’s how we show up every day. And our clients feel it in the work.
Built for Borderless Brands
At GAB China, we specialize in global brand strategy and East-meets-West execution. From market entry to creative rollout, we help brands navigate cultural nuance, platform complexity, and commercial goals — without losing clarity or soul.
Our approach is informed by over a decade of operating across Asia and the U.S., and backed by some of the world’s best: global enterprises, cultural icons, and growth-stage disruptors who trust us to translate vision into impact — across languages, time zones, and audiences.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We believe in precision — the kind that only comes from lived experience, deep listening, and a sharp understanding of how to move ideas across borders.
Whether you’re scaling into China, launching out of it, or building for something bigger — we bring strategy, story, and execution together to move your brand forward.

Gabby Gabriel, Founder, CEO
work smarter (& harder)
Gabby Gabriel spent over a decade living and working in China (and two years in Southeast Asia), where she became one of the few foreign female entrepreneurs to successfully scale a business in the region. Her work earned recognition from USA Today, which named her one of the Top Entrepreneurs of 2024, and from the BBC, who featured her as the only foreigner in their documentary Reggie in China. In 2025, she received the Global Impact Award (2nd place) from Northeastern University, underscoring her ability to create meaningful change on an international scale. These accolades reflect not only her influence in Asia, but also her ability to operate at the highest level across cultures, industries, and platforms.
Gabby is a dynamic, high-impact leader with a bold perspective. Over the years, she’s built strong brands and stronger teams — in China, Southeast Asia, and now the U.S. GAB China is her third business, shaped by world-class mentors, global experience, and an entrepreneurial approach that blends strategy, storytelling, and relentless execution.
What sets Gabby apart is how she shows up. She brings energy and clarity into every room, pushing her clients forward — creatively, commercially, and personally. Her leadership is bold, unapologetic, and rooted in results. She’s built a powerful global network of collaborators, investors, celebrities, and founders who trust her because she delivers. Most of her clients stay for years. And most of the most interesting young people want to work with her — not just because of what she builds, but because of how she builds it.
Gabby’s career began in China in 2012, where she quickly gained a reputation for navigating complex markets with creativity and precision. Leveraging her early ventures, she mastered the mechanics of the Chinese market and eventually founded GAB China, a strategic marketing firm with a reputation for bold execution and cross-cultural excellence.
In 2024, Gabby returned to the United States and co-founded Second Wind Media, a New York–based marketing and entertainment company, with entrepreneur Joe Germanotta. Through this venture, she has expanded her work into brand development, cultural strategy, and entertainment storytelling — building bridges between Asia and the U.S.
Fluent in English, Spanish, and Chinese, Gabby combines intuition with rigor, and she is uncompromising when it comes to quality. She expects the best — from herself and those around her — and her results speak for themselves.
Today, she leads GAB China with the same curiosity that first brought her to Asia: a hunger to explore, to build, and to stretch beyond what’s familiar. Her global approach remains rooted in bold strategy, smart execution, and a deep belief that business, at its best, is an act of exploration.
