Gabe Menelik — Co-Founder
Hi! 👋🏾 I’m a Sales professional with experience across SaaS, telecom, and early-stage startups. I've built pipeline, closed deals, and co-founded a startup that raised funding—always with the same mindset: stay curious, stay consistent, and keep learning. I thrive in roles where there’s a balance of structure and creativity—where I can connect with people, understand their challenges, and offer solutions that actually make sense. Recently, I've been especially drawn to companies tackling meaningful problems in AI, automation, and data. Long-term, I’m focused on growing within tech—sharpening my sales skills, learning from strong teams, and continuing to push myself in fast-paced environments. Outside of work, I’m into aviation, languages (I speak five), and exploring new cultures through travel. I'm also working toward getting my private pilot, boating, and motorcycle licenses. Always open to connecting—especially with people building cool things or figuring it out along the way. Cheers! 🤝🏾
