Ria San Gabriel

Ria is a startup enthusiast, a community connector, and a catalyst in the women and tech space. Into many creative pursuits and without one true calling, she learned to wear many hats from her stints at IBM, AmCham, NordCham and Médecins Sans Frontières HK. Involved in several women's initiatives globally besides Connected Women, she joins other do-gooders for transformative change through the intersections of feminism, social innovation and development.

Ria also became one of the judges at the prestigious MIT Inclusive Innovation Challenge 2019. The MIT IIC awards $1M+ globally to the heroes of inclusive innovation − organizations that are using technology to reinvent the future of work and create a more equitable economy.
