Gabe Villamizar

“I am grateful for the opportunity I had to work with Gabe for more than 7 years. Gabe brings a fresh, unique perspective to marketing and building a company. I've repeatedly seen Gabe work his magic to pull off impressive campaigns, connections, and influencer marketing. Even more, his influence at Lucid consistently extended beyond marketing and strengthened other parts of the organization. Gabe has the ability to connect deeply and meaningfully with peers across the company, as well as customers and partners. Gabe brings energy, hustle and enthusiasm to his work, and loyalty to his team. He is a true culture carrier. Gabe will undoubtedly be a huge contributor to building more companies!”

“First of all, Gabe is a fantastic person. I had the pleasure of working with him while he was the Marketing Director at Lucid Software. During his time at Lucid he led on many big company initiatives such as social media, customer/employee advocacy, community and strategic customer engagements. He is a great leader and any company would be lucky to have him onboard!”

“Gabe was one of the friendliest people I had the privilege to work with. He has extensive knowledge in all things sales and marketing. Companies have been lucky to have him as a leader as well as a resource. One of the regrets I had during my career was leaving the same company Gabe and I rubbed shoulders at. He is truly one of the greats in tech and my recommendation comes from authenticity and sincerity.”

“Gabe did a fantastic job walking a colleague and I through LinkedIn Navigator best practices and supporting tools that can be used to achieve better results. Thanks Gabe!”

“Gabe created and led our social selling strategy at HireVue and trained our go to market teams.

He gets the need to link activity with results and is constantly learning how to stay a few steps ahead of everyone else in the space.”

“It's rare that you come across someone who "Gets It" when it comes to social media and marketing. There a lot of people who talk a big game, but do not deliver. Gabe is continuously working to better himself, which is contagious to others. I learned a lot working with Gabe during our HireVue days and podcast experience. He is also fun to work with when times are tough. I recommend Gabe to anyone who wants to drive awareness, sales leads or raise their social media game. He knows how to get after it. Gabe Gets It! ”

“Gabe is the real deal. Not only is he a master of social selling, he is amazing at building genuine relationships and adding value. He uses social media as a tool for connection instead of as the main source, something many social gurus get wrong. He is incredibly sincere in his mission to help others and connect the world. He DOES IT BIG, YO! ”

“Gabe is a rock star of B2B marketing and sales. He is an amazing thinker and trainer with fantastic knowledge and insight. Even more important than his skills, Gabe is "good people".

The great thing about Gabe, though, is that he has figured out how to turn his love for people into an insanely valuable business skill. I had the pleasure of working with him on the marketing team at InsideSales.com, where he started to perfect his social selling playbook that has since made him famous. People love to work with him because he knows how to have fun while getting things done. I'm delighted to give Gabe my highest recommendation. ”

I recognized very early on during my time at Hirevue that Gabe was someone I needed to introduce myself to and learn from. The breadth of his understanding when it comes to social tools and how to use them is unmatched within our organization. Our conversations and formal training sessions have solidified the importance of making social a part of my prospecting strategy and about building your personal brand. There is no question that Gabe is passionate about what he does. He is also so willing to impart that knowledge to others and bends over backwards to help you. The things that Gabe has taught me will serve me in my professional career for years to come. Gabe is on the cutting edge of what tools are out there. He has introduced me to social tools that have barely hit the market and have given me such a competitive advantage in sales and prospecting. Outside of his social media prowess, Gabe is a stand up guy and someone I admire. He is always happy and brings good vibes to the work place. We have partnered on many sales projects together and have seen great success because of his innovation and optimistic attitude. I give Gabe Villamizar my full recommendation. ”

“Gabe is a natural leader. He is ambitious and successful, but beyond that, his success is reflected in those around him. He brings VALUE to whomever he works with wherever he goes. Gabe is also a natural marketer--it seems to fit him like a glove. It is as if he was born to be doing this--to being a great marketer. He has a real knack for looking at a businesses situation and goals and then strategically and creatively finding solutions. He is proactive and stays in engaged within the industry so that he is continually learning and adding value to the work he is performing. I had the privilege of not only working closely with Gabe in the UVU AMA leadership, but also in some of our most challenging classes during our senior semester at UVU. One class in particular involved an intense semester-long business simulation. This involved 'running' a multi-million dollar business via complex computer software for a simulated 8 years over our 4 month semester. To say this class was a challenge is an understatement; it is not infrequent for individuals to have to retake this course in order to achieve a passing grade. Not only did Gabe PASS, but he landed himself one of the TOP scores in the class both in our group and individual simulations. Three things became crystal clear to me about Gabe from this: 1) Gabe knows how to look at a challenge and accurately assess all available resources to help him meet goals 2) Gabe is intelligent--he is capable of approaching complex tasks and learning ANYTHING, even if its outside of his comfort zone or current expertise 3) Gabe is a hard worker and willing to put in the effort it takes to reach success...so often it is that drive, that willingness to work, that makes all the difference in the end. And in his case, and in our groups, it certainly did. Gabe's professionalism, ability to lead a group, natural knack for marketing, and sheer drive and work ethic will continue to prove to be a valuable asset wherever Gabe goes. It has been an honor getting to work with him and I look forward to seeing where his career will bring him.”

“Gabe is easily one of the most dedicated, driven individuals I have yet had the privilege of knowing. He never backs down from a challenge, and is always willing to go the extra mile to make things happen. Given his fantastic work ethic, and voracious appetite for learning Gabe will always be an asset to whatever team he is working with. I would consider it a privilege to work with him again in the future.”

“I worked alongside Gabe when he first started at InsideSales.com and I was impressed on how he hit the ground running and never looked back. He has the ability to learn and implement difficult and complex procedures quickly and efficiently. Gabe has a knack for business development and B2B sales processes. I would highly recommend Gabe for any team!”

“Gabe is THE person to go to for all things marketing and branding. Gabe is an expert in integrating marketing and he understands how to fully leverage a brand across many channels. My work with Gabe dealt with marketing products, services, and ideas of every kind. Gabe has the ability to not only create brands, but to live the brand, breathe the brand, and build strong brand tribalism. Gabe is a smart, hard worker. He takes the initiative, goes the extra mile, and is a great out-of-the-box thinker. If it's lead generation, brand management, marketing strategy, or start-up marketing, Gabe will be your best contact.”

“Gabriel is smart, has great interpersonal skills and is exactly the kind of person anyone would welcome wholeheartedly onto their teams. He's certainly someone that can take constructive criticism. That is such a rare commodity in new graduates. Gabriel is also an avid networker - he is great at building relationships and then maintaining them within his career and industry. I appreciate also Gabe's honesty about who he is and what he brings to the table - he is articulate, experienced and hard working. I highly recommend Gabriel for employment and graduate program placement!”
