About Gabriel

I’m a Harvard graduate (also admitted to Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Columbia, Duke, Rice, Washington University in St. Louis, UT Austin, and Texas A&M) and a Kellogg MBA where I was a F.C. Austin Scholar (Kellogg’s highest merit-based scholarship, awarded to 18 students per year for academic excellence, demonstrated leadership, and community impact). I now lead strategic AI and security partnerships within the cloud ecosystem, driving revenue growth and digital transformation for customers at Microsoft. After Harvard, I joined Teach For America and taught AP Biology, Physical Science, and French. In 2012, I founded an educational nonprofit focused on college access and success. Over seven years, our team served 1,000+ students who achieved 100% college acceptance and earned $170,000,000+ in scholarships. Those students were accepted to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Duke, Rice, Washington University in St. Louis, Notre Dame, Williams, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Columbia Cornell, the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, Brown, Johns Hopkins, and many more. The results were significant enough to earn recognition at the White House. Twice. Since 2010, I’ve also served as a Harvard alumni interviewer, learning firsthand how admissions insiders evaluate applications and what helps a story stand out. Across all of those roles, the same truths kept surfacing: • Great admissions outcomes aren’t built on secrets; they’re built on clarity and consistency. • The right action at the right time beats last-minute sprints. • Opportunity grows when knowledge is shared, not hoarded. I'm Your Best Fit If: • You're targeting Top programs, won't settle, and want a coach who won't either • You have a strong profile but need expert positioning to stand out • You value direct, strategic guidance over hand-holding • You're ready to invest in yourself at the level your goals demand • You’re pivoting careers and need to connect disparate experiences into one compelling narrative Let's build your admit strategy. Book a free intro call. Let's talk about your story, your goals, and whether we're the right fit. No pressure, just honest conversation about your path forward. Gabriel Kellogg MBA (F.C.
