Natalie Gibralter is a mother, wife, daughter, and product leader.

Hi, I’m Natalie. I love building products and teams. I am passionate about democratizing access and opportunities, leveling playing fields, and diversity and I enjoy working on products and ideas that attempt to contribute in these ways. So does my husband, Aaron, and in what little spare time we have you will find the two of us tinkering away together on various ideas.

My career has largely been shaped by entrepreneurial and intra-preneurial pursuits in technology and social impact. I joined both KIND (www.kindsnacks.com) and Squarespace (www.Squarespace.com) when they were each early stage start ups and helped them grow to become multi-billion dollar public companies. I founded and ran a non-profit called TrailTalks focused on developing skills and opportunites for cross-cultural connection among young Israeli backpackers traveling abroad. I currently spend the majority of my time focused on on my role as VP Product at Microsoft, leading an internal “start up” called Azure Communication Services. And outside of work, I’m spending a lot of time thinking about how to engage the youth of NYC in service and service learning more meaningfully… if this is something you are thinking about too, I’d love to chat.

My most important role is being a mother to two curly-headed kids who have inherited their father’s love of slapstick humor and my penchant for asking lots of questions.
