Gabriella Hachem

Gabriella Hachem is Co-Founder and co-CEO of Dessn, an AI-native design-in-production platform transforming how product teams design, prototype, and ship UI by working directly inside their real codebase.
Gabriella holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management and built deep expertise across product, design, and engineering at Planned (as Head of Product) and Salesfloor.
A self-described "token maximalist," Gabriella believes the more compute intelligence poured into the user experience, the better, and champions collapsing silos so every team member becomes a builder.
Prior to Dessn, Gabriella led product at event startup Planned and held a role at Automat, giving her a cross-functional foundation at the intersection of product, design, and AI.
Dessn raised $6M in Seed funding led by Connect Ventures (with Betaworks and N49P), and counts teams at Color, Wispr, and Mercury among its production users, with some spending over five hours daily in the platform.
