Gabe Antenucci

I believe leadership starts with being present, approachable, and actively engaged with my team. By removing obstacles, providing guidance, and encouraging open communication, I try to create an environment where team members can thrive. When we are empowered to do our best work, we are better able to understand our clients’ needs, solve their challenges, help them achieve their goals, and build lasting partnerships.

Gabe has more than 25 years of architectural experience. Since joining LaBella in 2008, he has progressed from project management and studio leadership to senior architectural leadership positions. In 2023, he relocated from Rochester, NY, to Charlotte, NC, to support the firm’s continued growth in the Southeast.

In his current roles as Southeast Architectural Regional Manager and Southeast Regional Director, Gabe leads LaBella’s architectural practice throughout the region. His responsibilities include aligning business development priorities, strengthening client relationships, guiding staffing and resource planning, and fostering collaboration across offices. He also helps manage LaBella’s Madrid-based architectural team.

Gabe remains actively involved in projects across multiple markets and states, with experience in higher education, K-12, sports, corporate and commercial, municipal, public safety, fire station, and specialty facilities. He mentors employees from interns to those pursuing architectural licensure and has contributed to the firm’s Project Manager training sessions.

A graduate of Philadelphia University, Gabe is a licensed architect in 12 states, NCARB certified, and a member of the American Institute of Architects and CSI Charlotte.
