On the surface, automobiles may seem worlds apart from the interest of a debonair fashionista like Gabriella Black. Ironically, the same quality that made her Kia’s most recently promoted Sales Executive, is identical to that which makes her a genteel fashionista! It’s her obsession with fine details.
“Every success story is a tale of constant adaptation, revision and change. As a young entrepreneur, I decided to step forward into growth with a leap of faith and walk in purpose. My mindset was changing and once that changes everything on the outside will change along with it. I decided to jump into the unknown without fear of what the outcome would be.”
In essence, a Sales Executive’s goal is to facilitate a more seamless and amicable sales process, but a Sales Executive’s life isn’t always glamorous and rosy. There are moments of immense frustration, which can decimate the morale of an individual if they don’t have a distinguished level of mental fortitude. Jamaicans can be particularly impudent and demanding, especially when it comes to cars because the ‘car culture’ on the island is so intense.
Unbothered and focused Gabriella, asserted that “I craved for more opportunities that would allow me to simply be my best self. With such great experience in sales and marketing and having the right attitude, I did not doubt that I would get the job done. Through my natural love for sales, customer services as well as my foundation knowledge in entrepreneurial studies it served to nurture the portfolio I am to manage at Kia.”
Gabriella takes tremendous pride in understanding every functional aspect of her ‘Kia Babies’ so that she can inform her clients confidently about potential automobile purchases. The way ‘Gabby’ can conjure a complete outfit, is another outward reflection of her detail obsession and an indication of one of her other most pronounced passions, modelling.
Having made cameo appearances in noteworthy music videos such as Options – Ky-mani Marley ft Pitbull and Txtn by Wstrn ft Alkaline, Gabriella is now looking to expand her horizons in the entertainment fraternity. Gabriella recently inked her first official modelling contract with Hi Esteem Agency in Miami and she is poised to have a noticeable impact in Caribbean fashion.
Her pronounced regalia is conspicuous from just one glance in her direction. As a woman of urbanity and savoir-faire, ‘Gabby’ oozes class in the way she carries herself. Growing up in a family with women of substance; who share this aura of sophistication, gave ‘Gabby’ a refined concept of femininity, which has served her well in her professional life as a Sales Executive and as a model.
Gabriella handles the entire dynamic, of balancing being a Sales Executive and Fashion Model with majestic elegance, all while expressing her creativity through her unmatched stylistic sensibilities. Gabriella’s peers revere her as a poignant, modern representation of the holistic Jamaican woman who in closing stated that “As a passionate, determined and driven young woman, my goal was always to serve in the capacity of helping others achieve their dreams and aspirations. The satisfaction gained from being an asset in the lives of others reassured me that I am where I am to be – positioned for greatness. Kia has become a recognized brand that has developed and advanced its technologies and it is with great love and honour that has brought me to be a part of this amazing journey.”
