Leadership

Gabriel co-founded Arda Ventures to build a procurement firm that combines durable supplier relationships with the analytical rigor federal sourcing demands.

Before Arda, Gabriel worked across security technology, oil and gas, and communications — environments that shaped his approach to sourcing, deal structuring, and client management. His earlier work in oil and gas gave him direct exposure to how large-scale supply chains perform under commercial and regulatory pressure.

His background in Economic Sociology from Southern Methodist University shapes how he reads procurement markets — as systems driven by policy, geopolitics, and structural shifts in global supply. That framework applies directly to the current federal environment, where reshoring, critical mineral sourcing, and evolving agency priorities demand both analytical depth and operational agility.

At Arda, Gabriel leads federal registration and operations.

A committed athlete across cycling, running, skiing, surfing, and mountaineering, he carries the same standards of discipline and persistence into the firm.

Scott co-founded Arda Ventures to apply institutional financial analysis to a procurement market that often runs on guesswork and pass-through pricing.

Scott came to Arda from investment banking. As an Analyst at Vault Advisors in New York, he advised healthcare, technology, and real estate clients on strategic and financial transactions — modeling deals, structuring engagements, and reading markets where precision defines outcomes.

His Economics background from Southern Methodist University shapes how he approaches federal and commercial procurement — as a market driven by capital flows, policy shifts, and geopolitical realignment. That lens applies directly to the current environment, where reshoring, tariffs, and critical supply chain priorities reward firms that can price and position with conviction.

At Arda, Scott leads business development, capture strategy, and commercial partnership growth.

An outdoorsman across scuba diving, surfing, skiing, fishing, and hiking, Scott carries the same focus and patience into the firm.
