Gabriel Lobato is President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Hope Alliance with more than 20 years experience of developing and managing two different for profit businesses. One was sold while the other is his private practice, Present Hope Therapy, as a licensed therapist. He earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University.

Soon after developing his practice, he realized the gap that exists in mental health education and services for the economically disadvatanged and the less fortunate including those in foster care. In 2024 he formed Greater Hope Alliance as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in order to seek grants and donations to close the gap in the segments of the population that are often overlooked or have to settle for sub-par care.
