Gabrielle Rios

Gabrielle Rios is an entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of TRUINJECT, an innovative company prepared to revolutionize aesthetic injection education.  A native of El Paso, Texas, Gabrielle’s determination and drive to succeed was rooted in her early days.

While earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Marketing from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Gabrielle was also excelling as an elite tennis player on the court after being named to the All-American Doubles Team in 1997.  She was the West Coast and National "Rookie of the Year" in 1998 on the women's tennis circuit and she is no stranger to challenges or competition. In 1999, she was inducted into the Saddleback College Women’s Tennis Hall of Fame, one of 32 inductees in its 46-year history.

Following college, Gabrielle brought her strong work ethic and appetite for a challenge to the dynamic world of pharmaceuticals. She worked as a pharmaceutical representative and business development manager for Allergan®, the maker of the popular aesthetic injectable, Botox®.  During her successful run at Allergan®, Gabrielle became increasingly familiar with facial injections.  She noticed a gap in the need for a more comprehensive educational experience for practitioners without risking patient safety.  At the time, the only option for practitioners to hone their facial injection skills was on cadavers or live patients.

Gabrielle saw an opportunity to advocate for patient safety by developing a product that would educate providers while improving patient experiences and satisfaction.  She left Allergan®, sold her home in Texas, cashed in her 401 (k) and moved to California, taking a courageous leap of faith to begin her new endeavor.  In 2013, TRUINJECT was born.  Based in Newport Beach, California, TRUINJECT stands to revolutionize training in injectable products for the entire aesthetics industry.
