Gina Romero

ABOUT ME: Tech-smart, business-savvy, down-to-earth. Connector of people & ideas.

I often introduce myself as someone who has failed in business several times since the age of 16, not because I am proud of my mistakes but because I value failure as a catalyst for success. I have since dedicated my life to helping others succeed.

Community, entrepreneurship and technology are at the heart of everything I do. I run a number of businesses and initiatives with a focus on providing a platform for women to harness technology for success.

I was invited by LinkedIn to be part of their LinkedIn Speaker Series and be among the 106 inspiring and innovative thinkers from around the globe. Read about it here.

Have you ever wondered how some people can easily connect with strangers at an event? While you are stuck in your seat or at the food bar, and you're just waiting for at least one person to say 'Hi'? Experts say that although extroverts have a natural ability to converse with other people, networking is a skill that introverts can learn - with the right hacks and enough practice.
