Ms. Gabby Turner
Vice President, Marketing & Innovation Bay Area Host Committee
Gabby Turner is a senior business, marketing, and partnerships strategist with deep roots in the Bay Area and more than two decades of global experience moving brands, platforms, and cultural initiatives forward. She currently serves as Vice President of Marketing & Innovation for the Bay Area Host Committee (BAHC), where she’s helping lead the region’s effort to host Super Bowl LX and the FIFA World Cup 2026 — part of a historic 18-month run of global events for the Bay.
Gabby’s experience spans high-growth startups, iconic tech brands, and her own consultancy, with a portfolio that includes companies such as StubHub, eBay, Zenni, FanDuel, and many more. She has led strategic initiatives across sports, entertainment, and culture — building teams, accelerating key priorities, and driving meaningful business results.
Among her accomplishments, she led brand partnerships at Zenni, spearheading the company’s entry into soccer and expanding its presence across talent and entertainment. In her 13 years at StubHub, she helped grow the company from a $100M startup to a $4.5B global brand, overseeing partnerships across sports, music, and ticketing — delivering industry-first deals that helped shape the modern ticketing landscape.
A longtime Bay Area resident, Gabby earned her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, where she played lacrosse, and her MA in Sport Management from the University of San Francisco. She believes relationships are the most important currency in business — and that thoughtful, collaborative planning, paired with integrity, is the key to meaningful and lasting impact.
Born in Mexico City and raised outside Philadelphia, Gabby is passionate about brand building, social good, sustainability, and mentorship. She lives in Oakland with her husband, Andres, and their two boys, Ellis and Nico. When she’s not working or attending her kids’ sporting events, you can find her on the pickleball court.
