A team built from
senior-living expertise
Behind Tricura is a team of senior-living specialists with decades of real-world experience.
We’ve lived the challenges operators face every day — from compliance pressure to staffing realities — and we bring that expertise directly into our underwriting, service, and decision-making. These are the people elevating what insurance in senior care can be.

Gabriel Mayer
CEO & Founder
After studying corporate finance at Baruch, Gabriel began his career as an analyst at Zeno Capital Partners; a New York based private equity group. While there, he established himself as one of the lead underwriters in several leveraged buyouts of middle market technology, healthcare, and media companies. Gabriel was then recruited as the first employee at a middle market healthcare private equity group serving as a Senior Associate. During his tenure, Gabriel helped build the firm’s healthcare business from the ground up, ultimately moving into the role of Executive VP of Asset Management. Over the last four years, under his leadership, the group grew to manage healthcare assets in excess of $300mm in revenue and over 5,000 employees across several verticals. Subsequently, Gabriel left the firm to start Obsidian Insurance Group and currently leads the team as Chief Executive Officer of the company. Gabriel brings an impeccable attention to detail and relentless work ethic coupled with an intimate understanding of skilled nursing operations and the nuances that drive risk performance. He lives with his wife in NY.
