Gabelli attended Fordham Preparatory School for his high school education and graduated in 1986. He started an undergraduate program at Boston College and earned his bachelor's degree in economics. He then earned a master’s degree in government from Harvard University, where he conducted research through the Davis Center focusing on Russian agricultural trade policy. Gabelli later earned a master of business administration (MBA) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Gabelli began his career with Lehman Brothers International in equity research, covering international telecommunications and metals, mining, and metallurgy companies, and later focusing on equity arbitrage, including cross-asset special situations.
Starting in the 1990s, Gabelli managed several Morningstar mutual funds in the United States and Canada. He has managed the global equity mutual fund Gabelli Global Growth and the Canadian SVC O'Donnell Mid Cap Value fund since they were launched.
In corporate matters, he assisted various Gabelli group restructurings, such as GAMCO’s initial public offering (IPO) in 1999, and the subsequent formation of Associated Capital in 2015. He built the Gabelli hedge fund platform, Gabelli & Partners, and expanded the business internationally, opening the GAMCO’s London and Tokyo offices.
In venture capital, Gabelli has been active in both early- and growth-stage investments as a fiduciary and as a general partner, including in 2001 at OpNet Partners—a Gabelli venture capital fund focused on optical networking technologies. As of 2023, he manages what is described as alternative investments.
Gabelli has served as a member of the board of directors and chairman of Teton Advisors since 2018 and as chief executive officer (CEO) since October 2021.
