Gerson is a Mechanical Engineer specialised in Aerodynamics, with a doctoral degree from the University of São Paulo. Originally from Brazil, he relocated to the United Kingdom in 2008 to pursue his ambition of working in Formula 1.

Following positions in aerodynamics development, performance, and correlation at Caterham F1 and Renault F1 teams, more recently Gerson took on a leadership role building the Computational Fluid Dynamics team and capabilities for the Cadillac Formula 1 Team.

Beyond Formula 1, Gerson has contributed to numerous high-performance aerodynamics applications through Sabe, the consultancy he founded in 2019. His portfolio includes America's Cup campaigns, the aerodynamic design of the McLaren W1 hypercar, serving as lead engineer for the Automobile Club de l'Ouest in the aerodynamic homologation and trackside performance analysis of Le Mans Hypercars, development of novel concepts such as the HaloDrive propeller system, and various other projects.

Through Striding Edge, Gerson leverages his extensive network of high-performing specialists and his broad knowledge base to tackle advanced engineering challenges extending beyond aerodynamics.

Kynan is an Aerospace Engineer specialised in Electric Propulsion and System Integration, with a master's degree from the University of Southampton and research experience at MIT. Originally from the United Kingdom, he has lived and worked across 40+ countries, bringing a global perspective to technical innovation and commercial execution.

​
