Born in Basel, Switzerland, Classical Ballet and Figure Skating have been her hobbies during the school days. After her baccalaureate, she studied Protestant Theology in Basel and Montpellier (France). After receiving her doctoral degree she deepened her ethical thinking at the Center for Ethics of the University of Zurich. There she worked on questions of business and leadership ethics.

Having worked at different Universities and also as a pastor in the protestant parish of Reinach, Baselland, she decided to change to the private sector. As a management consultant, she travelled around the world and initiated and accompanied processes to transform leaders and business-cultures. A holistic view of business knows: people are the key to any type of success, even in business. With this view on the strengths and contributions of the individual, she came back to Basel becoming an Associate Partner and Head of Assessment Center at MPB Recruitment Group. Gabriela is a proactive, open and culturally interested person with an excellent network. She is the Managing Director of Pro Ballet School since 1st January 2023. She is happy to lead the school to a prosperous future and to stand up for the young dancers who deserve more than a professional ballet formation. Beyond they shall find motivation and friendship, dedication and team spirit – all the ingredients allowing them to lead a fulfilling life.
