Gabriela Hersham

About Gabriela Hersham

Gabriela has been credited as an original pioneer of co-working in the UK and a champion of women in business. Gabriela founded Huckletree in 2014 to bring together London’s most innovative startups, entrepreneurs and businesses, after being inspired by the success of co-working in New York. Huckletree is now one of the UK and Ireland’s fastest growing co-working communities, with a presence in London, Manchester and Dublin.

Gabriela has been actively involved in campaigning for diversity in the innovation ecosystem and passionately supports diverse entrepreneurs both in Huckletree’s community and beyond – demonstrated through the launch of Fairer Funding Now, Huckletree’s campaign to promote inclusivity within the world of startup investment and Huckletreee Alpha, the pro-bono accelerator programme for under-represented founders that Huckletree has been running since 2017.

Gaby frequently uses the term ‘conscious entrepreneurship’ to describe herself; building for-profit businesses which impact communities on a global level; and seeing the bottom line as much more than just profitability. Gaby has been heralded as a strong example of feminine leadership in a traditionally masculine business world; leading with her heart and soul whilst making decisions based on deep understanding of their potential impact.

Gaby is a mother of two boys aged 5 and 1 and is married to Antoine Nussenbaum (of Felix Capital).
