The Founder: Gabriela Wurcel

Portrait of Gabriela Wurcel

For over two decades, Gabriela worked at the intersection of business and diplomacy — translating geopolitical and regulatory risk into strategic decisions, building the government relations and stakeholder engagement infrastructure that unlocks market access, and helping organizations shape regulation rather than react to it.

She's built external affairs functions from the ground up, designed geopolitical resiliency frameworks, secured multi-million-dollar investment incentives through government negotiation, and represented organizations at the WTO, UN, FAO, OECD, and Climate COPs across three continents. Her work spans agrifood, health, technology, and sustainability — sectors defined by regulatory complexity and geopolitical exposure.

The Business Diplomatexists because that vantage point — from inside the rooms where policy gets made — almost never reaches the companies it affects most.
