Bio
EllieRenee C.
Gina is a very encouraging and supportive member of the cybersecurity community. I met Gina during one of her LinkedIn live speaking engagements and she was gracious enough to meet with me after the event to elaborate on my question. She provided me with exemplar resume and career guidance.

I highly recommend Gina for any organization looking for experienced and dedicated cybersecurity professional services. As an Identity Security professional who specializes in resolving complex security issues through innovative and product-agnostic approaches, I have had the pleasure of working with Gina on several projects. Gina's expertise and attention to detail have been invaluable to the success of the projects I have been involved with. She consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of the latest trends in cybersecurity and is always on top of the latest technology and industry best practices. Her focus on process and her ability to drive change through transformational initiatives has made her indispensable and closely aligns with my own philosophical beliefs on how to effectively drive the change that organizations are looking to achieve. One of the things that has impressed me most about Gina is her commitment to treating everyone with dignity and respect. This philosophy extends beyond just her work in cybersecurity and is a core part of who she is as a person. She truly understands that in order to create lasting change in Identity security, we must start by treating our employees, candidates, customers, and business partners with dignity, respect, and empathy. These are the core values that have driven my success and I appreciate that we are able to work so well together due to the alignment of that ideological framework. Being a lifelong learner myself, I identify and appreciate that Gina is constantly seeking out new opportunities to expand her knowledge and expertise. She is always eager to share her insights and experiences with others and is an excellent mentor and coach to her colleagues in the cybersecurity community. I have learned a great deal from my conversations with her, and I am always grateful for her willingness to share her knowledge. Finally, I appreciate the commonality we share in our love of new cultures and travel. Her adventurous spirit and openness to new experiences make her a joy to work with. I have no doubt that she will continue to be a valuable asset to any organization she works with, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any position.
