GINA MOLLICONE-LONG is a one woman powerhouse who has spent the last 16 years trail-blazing new paths for the modern female entrepreneur. She is the best-selling author of The Secret of Successful Failing. Her second book, THINK OR SINK, is available in January 2010 from Sterling & Ross.
Gina lives her beliefs. Her outside-the-mold career started with an Honours Engineering degree from the University of Toronto. From there, was a non-linear leap to the corporate world, in brand management roles starting at Procter & Gamble and leading to Molson Breweries, where as Brand Manager she re-directed the brand and company culture. Next up was a senior strategic role with the NRG group, a high tech venture capital firm, where Gina worked in a fast-paced environment to help channel passion into entrepreneurial technology businesses. During this time, she simultaneously launched her first business, Goddess Concepts, a personal development company that focuses on helping women and girls reveal their inherent brilliance. Goddess Concepts also helps organizations and individuals understand and leverage the unique perspective of girls and women.
In 2000 she co-founded two multi-national companies that focus on developing people in the workplace. Their Fortune-500 clients include companies such as The Body Shop, Microsoft, KPMG among many others. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two children.
