About Gina
I combine 20+ years of senior leadership experience with doctoral research in organizational development to help leaders lead with awareness and impact.
I’ve partnered with teams at Strava, Boston Beer, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and AOL Time Warner to unlock potential they didn’t know existed.
As a trusted advisor, coach, and speaker, I work alongside leaders and their teams to pause, reflect, notice the patterns that often go unseen, and lead with intention and clarity — so the impact they create is meaningful and enduring.
Leadership is a practice — individually and collectively.
