Gabriel Martinez
Whether it is working in the L&D world or in my personal life, I bring a builder mindset geared towards creating, improving and taking ownership. I put both curiosity and practical solutions at the forefront to develop solutions that empower others to do their best work.
Throughout my career, I have designed and developed learning experiences for all sorts of audiences, from employees, to customers and partners, across several industries (manufacturing, financial services, tech) using different modalities to provide learners the learning experience they need, when they need it, and in the format they need it most.

I had the chance to work with Gabe on a multi-year learning project during my time at Lincoln Financial Group, and he was an incredible partner throughout the entire journey. From the early stages of ideation all the way through to rollout and refinement, Gabe brought a thoughtful, strategic, and learner-first approach to everything we did.
He has a real gift for turning complex, sometimes abstract ideas into learning experiences that feel clear, accessible, and genuinely engaging. Nothing he creates is surface-level — everything is rooted in real outcomes and designed with intention. Whether we were mapping out a brand-new program or iterating on an existing one, Gabe always made sure we were solving the right problems and creating something that would actually move the needle for our learners.

Gabe has a gift for curriculum development and is an incredibly fast learner, whether it's learning new software or learning new concepts in order to teach them. If you're looking for someone who is efficient, effective, and a pleasure to work with, look no further!
