Gabriel Campillo

Gabriel is one of the best professors and mentors I have had the opportunity to work with while attending IE Business School. He teaches using a practical approach & incorporates his past experience. In the classroom environment, Gabriel's course covered the design thinking methodology, which turned into one of the most memorable and useful courses that I have had during my masters degree. In the mentoring capacity, he regularly consulted with our team during the IE Business Impact Lab - Corporate Challenge. His guidance and advice throughout the challenge was invaluable for the success of our team.

Gabriel was our professor of the Design Sprint course and our mentor in the Business Impact Project at IE Business School. He taught us different ways to solve a real challenge in a really short time. Our team won the prize for the best project and I believe he helped us to focus on discovering and creating a new and easy solution to implement in a leading worldwide fashion company.

For the development of our impact project, as a final part of the International MBA at IE Business School, we made the decision to choose Gabriel as the mentor of our project and I can say that it was an excellent decision. His extensive experience in consulting, business strategy and development, as well as continuous search to be at the forefront of new trends and methodologies to face new business challenges in a more efficient way motivated the team and served as a model to achieve a resounding success in our project. Without a doubt, I believe that Gabriel is not only a great mentor but an excellent professional capable of facing and overcoming any challenge he has in front of him.

For the impact project, our team decided to choose Gabriel as a mentor because his experience and business vision has allowed enriching the development of this work. Personally, I feel satisfied with the work we do and thanks to Gabriel's guidelines to achieve the main objective of increasing the profitability of the hotel, our focus was on analyzing and strengthening the functions of each area involved and implementing action plans respectively. Finally, he is a mentor who I would definitely choose him again for future professional projects.

Gabriel is a highly experienced and skilled professional with a deep understanding of the retail industry, marketing, transformation and design thinking methodologies.
His innovative and holistic approach, along with his expertise and background make him an invaluable asset when dealing with complex situations.
He is capable of managing and leading transformation processes in a very efficient and effective way, providing actual and measurable results.

My business partner and I entered in the incubation program of Bridge for Billions to launch our business and since then we have been working with Gabriel as our mentor.

Gabriel has been a key element to put our ideas together, between his challenging questions and tools we've been able to form our business model and clarify the strategies where we should work.

He always gives feedback and insight, he will push to help you achieve your goal; so if you really want to listen someone with experience and you are willing to work hard on your project, Gabriel knows how to guide entrepreneurs.

Gabriel and I sat together at the board of directors responsible for designing and implementing the corporate strategy. With him as Marketing and sales director for Latin America, the organization shifted from a period of stagnant sales and poor market engagement into clear growth and a fully digital, sales and marketing, transformation along with building the foundations for two additional corporate ventures.

Gabriel's leadership and vision built a high performing team of 13 enthusiasts, which transitioned from working in siloes into a seamless marketing process, expanded well beyond his responsibilities creating a close collaboration between de academic staff under my lead, de operations unit and the administrative department. He pushed through the implementation of key business practices along with the adoption of new IT wich integrated company's ERP with Marketing's own CRM. He brought in conversations and topics ranging from soft skills to business 4.0 that helped us shape our entrepreneurship platform.

Hard negotiator, forward thinker and someone that is always keen to solve issues fast, as a team. Once he starts leading workshops and creative sessions there's no stopping him. Very hard not to learn something from him.
