This isn’t about decks and PowerPoints. Gabe’s interest in Oceanco comes from somewhere else entirely, more personal. A lifelong fascination with the sea. A deep respect for the people who live and work on it. And a belief that yachting is about tuning in. To the ocean. To yourself. To what really matters.
Gabe spent his life building companies that don’t exactly follow the script. Valve was never about market domination or quarterly wins, it was about giving smart people the space to build weird, wonderful things that changed how people play.
That same spirit draws him to Oceanco. His first decision? Leave the team alone. Seriously. Oceanco has vision and integrity, and a culture that actually works. Gabe doesn’t want to fix it, he wants to fuel it.
Because here is the thing: Gabe sees the world as full of crossovers. What happens when you let yachtbuilders talk to worldbuilders? When craftsmen get access to tech usually reserved for game devs and mad scientists? You get innovation that doesn’t just look good. It feels good.
