GABRIEL MOSSE AAT Director of Development

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and immigrated to Westchester County, New York, when I was just three years old. Growing up in a bilingual family with a constant need to travel, I developed a love for exploring new places, new cultures – and for meeting new people. My love of cars began at a young age as well, collecting models of vintage and exotic sports cars my father would bring back from his many business trips.

I earned a B.A. from Emerson College in Boston, where I double majored in Marketing Communications and Literature. My continued need for exploration led me to a communications role at the Boston Museum of Science, where I first encountered the sense of joyful discovery one can only really find in a museum environment. It inspired me to pursue a career with museums and led me to pursue a master’s degree from Harvard University, focusing on museum studies.

I have worked in museum communications and development for more than 13 years now, in institutions large and small, urban and rural—and always having fun along the way! I have been blessed with the ability to combine my personal passion for cars with my professional appreciation for museums, and I’m very happy to be here at America’s Automotive Trust.

When people meet me as the “Director of Development,” they often ask, “what do you develop?” I tell them that I like to think I develop relationships, develop communities, and help to develop a greater sense of fun wherever I go. I’m so very happy to be doing that here now, with all of you.
