Derek Gabriel

I'm passionate about helping others who are passionate about what they like and do. I love technology, like I love living in Hawaii. I enjoy businessy things like management and marketing, and listening to great authors on Audible. Member of the Rotary Club of Honolulu Pau Hana.

I believe Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things will revolutionize business and our future world, and we shouldn’t fear this.
