Gabriel Michaan

Gabe was shaped early on by a family of entrepreneurs in Brazil, and fell in love with sales at a young age.

Over the past 15 years, Gabe has built a career helping companies grow, not behind a spreadsheet, but up close and on the ground. He’s helped lead two high-growth businesses, scaling one from $10M to $120M CAD in revenue, and another from $8M to $70M USD. His success has come from building strong teams, creating systems that scale, and cultivating customer loyalty as a competitive advantage.

Gabe was appointed by Toronto City Council to the board of TO Live, overseeing three theatres, 630 employees, and a $30M operating budget. During the COVID-19 pandemic, every venue was forced to shut down and revenues dropped by 99%. Gabe played a key role in helping the organization navigate this unprecedented crisis. It was a test of values and resilience, one that reinforced his belief in steady leadership and doing right in the hardest moments.

He graduated at the top of his class from the Richard Ivey School of Business, with a focus on Finance, Accounting, and Entrepreneurship. He is fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
