Meet Gabby Simone | Entrepreneur & Founder of G Simone

We had the good fortune of connecting with Gabby Simone and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gabby, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success and the success of my brand is my extensive experience in retail, spanning over 8 years with prestigious companies like Bebe, Kate Spade, and Louis Vuitton. This experience has imparted invaluable lessons about the significance of customer service, managing a book of business, styling items, and understanding customer preferences. By doing the groundwork in the field, I’ve been able to translate these skills into running my own business, G Simone, effectively providing my customers with the same high level of service and connection. Additionally, my bubbly personality and people skills have helped me build strong relationships with my customers, further contributing to my brand’s success.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to my husband, Dr. Marcus Allen. He has been instrumental in my journey, constantly pushing me when I need it the most. His unwavering encouragement to step out of my comfort zones and his belief in my potential—often stronger than my own—has been invaluable. I am immensely grateful for him and all his support.
