Gabriela Hersham

Credited as an original pioneer of co-working in the UK and a champion of women in business, Gabriela Hersham founded coworking accelerator Huckletree in 2014, one of London and Dublin’s fastest-growing coworking communities. Recognised as one of the UK's trailblazing women leading the healthy, happy and inclusive workplace of the future, having given a TedX talk on the subject, Gabriela has grown Huckletree's membership to over 2,000 startups and expanded to six locations, including new spaces such as the wellbeing-led Huckletree Soho and govtech-focused Westminster site. Gabriela actively campaigns for diversity, spearheading the Fairer Funding Now programme that promotes inclusive investment for entrepreneurs and startups, and supports female entrepreneurs both in Huckletree’s community and beyond, serving on the advisory board of several startups. She believes in the power of creating a strong team culture, and takes great pride in seeing her team enjoying their work environment.
