June 11, 2025- Highly Recommend!

If you’re looking for someone who brings authenticity, heart, and real passion to everything he does, you need to meet him. I’ve had the privilege of watching his journey, and what stands out most is how genuine he is — no pretenses, no shortcuts, just honest work and real connection.

He approaches everything with purpose and sincerity. Whether he’s building something meaningful, offering support, or simply staying true to his values, it all comes from a place that’s truly organic. He doesn’t follow trends — he leads with intention and integrity.

If you value people who show up fully, work with heart, and care deeply about what they do, he’s someone you absolutely want in your corner.

Wholeheartedly recommended

May 20, 2025- I had the pleasure of working closely with Gabe on a global enterprise account, where he was responsible for the NAMER region and I covered EMEA. Our collaboration was seamless across time zones and regions, Gabe consistently demonstrated professionalism, strategic thinking, and a strong customer focus. We tackled complex challenges together and aligned on cross-regional strategies. Gabe was a reliable partner in joint client meetings and internal planning, bringing thoughtful insights and a solution-oriented mindset to every discussion. Working with Gabe was not only productive, but also a real pleasure thanks to his positive attitude and collaborative spirit. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend him as a colleague and partner.

May 16, 2025- I recruited Gabe to join LinkedIn's Key Accounts team in 2021. He stood out at that time because of his humility, thoughtfulness and ability to quickly build rapport and relationship with me over a few short weeks, so much so in fact, that I felt like we'd been friends for years. Actions, however, always have and always will speak louder than words, and Gabe's ability to navigate a challenging economic backdrop and not only achieve President's Club last year but finished first within Key Accounts and in the Top 5% across all sellers/segments of LinkedIn illustrates his commitment to his craft as well as his initiative and drive to exceed expectations. Gabe elevates those around him with his work ethic, approach and positive outlook. He's not only the type of seller you want on your team in terms of impacting and influencing others around him, but he's the kind of person you want to align with regardless of professional or personal environment. He's honest, trustworthy, intelligent, kind and compassionate. You won't find a better individual than Gabe Crespo, full stop. He would unequivocally be the very first person I'd hire if I were building or growing a company.

December 5, 2017 - It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Gabe. I hired Gabe as a Renewals Sales Rep in 2016 after seeing his experience, professionalism, and enthusiasm during his interview. He reported to me for a little over 9 months — and to say it was a great working relationship is an understatement. He came into a territory that was challenging but that was nothing that his work ethic, passion to succeed, and dedication couldn't help surmount. I was particularly impressed by Gabe's ability to handle even the toughest customers—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among sales professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly natural to him. He excelled while in seat and while it was tough watching him move on to his next role internally, I was also very excited for his future.

Truly amazing professor. Very passionate and caring! The class is very interesting, and if you're passionate as much as he is about entrepreneurship, conversations with him during class time are the best. My class had 3-6 discussions (short and easy), 3-4 quizzes (easy 3-5 questions) untimed and with unlimited attempts, and 2 short and easy project.

Inspirational professor. Very relaxing voice for live lectures. Excellent feedback. Quick with grading. Flexible, understanding, and very human overall. Very organized on canvas. Very sweet as well. I recommend him 100%.

This semester was my first time taking Professor Crespo and I don't regret it. He focuses on trying to help us learn something that we can actually apply in the real world. He always provides positive feedback. As long as you put your part you will pass his class.
