Gabriela Couto

I am an experienced professional with over 30 years of experience working at the intersection of life sciences-based innovation, entrepreneurship, public policy, and ecosystem development in Latin America. I have extensive international experience working with multilateral organizations. I am recognized for my ability to understand systems holistically, translate complexity into clarity, and support professionals, especially women scientists, during times of transition, growth, and decision-making. I bring a unique combination of analytical rigor, cultural fluency, and human sensitivity, developed through sustained work with scientists, entrepreneurs, public officials, investors, and international institutions. By sharing my accumulated knowledge and lived experience, I currently facilitate spaces for reflection where professionals can recalibrate their confidence, authority, and leadership in high-risk and competitive environments.
