DeReticular is built on a simple premise: that bold, ambitious ideas have the power to reshape our world. But an idea without a framework is just a concept. To turn vision into reality, you need an architect—someone who can design the systems, build the bridges, and execute with purpose.
Today, we are thrilled to formally introduce that architect. Please join us in welcoming Kim Gateb as the Acting Chief Executive Officer of DeReticular.
Kim’s journey to DeReticular isn’t a traditional one, and that’s why she’s the perfect fit for us. Her career is a masterclass in turning complex, forward-thinking ideas into tangible, real-world impact. From corporate leadership to the disruptive worlds of real estate tech and AI-driven career coaching, her path has been defined by one core principle: innovation only matters when it creates clarity, connection, and opportunity.
This is a philosophy she has proven time and again.
As the mind behind Career Garage, Kim built an AI-powered career coach designed to help mid-career professionals reinvent themselves. She understood that in a rapidly evolving workforce, people don’t just need advice; they need a system to guide them. She built that system, empowering countless individuals to stay competitive and find new purpose in their work.
With Cribbit, she took on the notoriously complex world of real estate, pioneering a blockchain property marketplace. Her goal was radical yet simple: to streamline transactions and put control back into the hands of buyers and sellers. It was another powerful demonstration of her ability to see a fractured system and replace it with one built on efficiency and empowerment.
Both ventures taught the same lesson: bold ideas succeed when they’re paired with strong systems and purposeful execution.
“I thrive at the intersection of vision and structure,” Kim says. “Connecting technology with people, and people with opportunity. Whether it’s scaling new platforms, rethinking how we work, or creating partnerships that expand possibility, my goal is simple: to build frameworks that don’t just move markets, but move people.”
Kim first connected with our team through the “Digital Adventures Outdoors R Us” project, and it quickly became clear that her vision extended far beyond a single venture. Her ability to see the bigger picture, to identify the critical path forward, and to organize chaos into a clear, actionable plan made her an invaluable partner. Her role organically grew until it was obvious to everyone: she wasn’t just helping us build a project; she was helping us build the future of the company.
As Acting CEO, Kim is now tasked with building the very foundation of DeReticular’s future. She will be leading the charge to establish our formal corporate structure, designing the operational framework that will allow us to scale our vision. She will also be the driving force behind the AI Alliance, a cornerstone of our strategy to build a collaborative, innovative ecosystem.
For those who want a glimpse into her multifaceted personality, her website travelbougie.org reveals another side of her—a passion for exploration and connecting with the world on a personal level. It’s this blend of pragmatic, systems-level thinking and a deep appreciation for human connection that makes her such a unique and inspiring leader.
At DeReticular, we are not just developing technology; we are building a new way of operating. We are creating systems that empower individuals and communities. We are turning ambitious ideas into real-world impact.
With Kim Gateb at the helm, we are not just dreaming of the future. We are building the blueprint for it. Welcome, Kim. We are ready to build with you.
