"Jonathan has established himself as an empathetic and trusted leader in his time over the past 4 years with Deloitte. I have been lucky enough to work alongside Jonathan in many capacities, from delivering impactful project work to building up the expertise of our Social Media Delivery Pool and co-hosting many Empowered Well-being Workshops and initiatives! Two things that always stand out to me are how consistently kind and incredibly detail-oriented Jonathan is in any aspect of his role. People remember the way you make them feel - and time and again he's proven that he cares deeply enough to always take the time to check in as an authentic individual while also supporting all the moving pieces that build up to incredible professional outcomes."

     Colleague at Deloitte Consulting
"Jonathan demonstrated quick adaptability and has been eager to take on new software, as well as develop his skills as a leadership figure. A joy to work with, he has earned the trust of his peers and those he oversees due to his collaborative and diligent nature. He is able to take complex situations and work through them seamlessly while taking the time to ensure all perspectives are taken into account."

     Colleague at Deloitte Consulting

"He created the first-ever official donor program for a 10-year-old nonprofit organization. He thoughtfully orchestrated a digital content structure that honored the fundraising strategy and carefully communicated the need, recognizing triggers and automatically transitioned committed donors to long-term giving options. And he did all of this while working remotely and fitting in nicely with the tight knit fabric of [the] organization. I'd hire Jonathan again in a heartbeat if I could. He always has a positive and professional attitude in all of his communications and any organization would count themselves lucky to have him."

"Jonathan Gabriel is the reason all of the various people at UCF who manage the many Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts now communicate and collaborate. In a digital environment where it is much easier to hide behind a screen and a keyboard, he made a concerted effort to bring us all together on a regular basis and start a community, and it has made a huge impact...[he] is a hard-working professional who cares deeply about his organization and colleagues. He was a pioneer in social media at the university."

"He is a motivated and responsible person with a high degree of integrity. He is a flexible team-player who is willing to learn new skills to help the team achieve its goals."

     Former Social Media Manager, University of Central Florida

"I have witnessed first hand his commitment to building community among his peers and creating opportunity for collaboration. His Slack community [part of HigherEdSocial] brings together thousands of colleagues around the world and provides an immense amount of value to the field. While [he] is a well known name in our field he still gives his time and talent freely to help others. He is a team player in every sense of the word."

     Certified social media strategist and founder of the HigherEdSocial digital community 

"Jonathan oversaw many aspects of communication for our college, which meant that he had many departments asking him to do many tasks simultaneously. In spite of this, Jonathan always was able to get it all done, on time, and with a high level of skill and creativity."

     Director of Advising, UCF Burnett Honors College

"I valued his consistent professionalism and the ways he made our students shine, bringing due attention to their accomplishments! He genuinely puts others ahead of himself, and an understated, unobtrusive yet unmistakable enthusiasm characterizes his work."

"He brought careful listening skill to what our requirements were, a keen eye, meticulous attention to detail, and a refreshing willingness to take feedback and edit as many times as necessary. Jonathan is a consummate professional, with a very calm personality. He will be a tremendous addition to any firm, and I recommend him without reservation."
