Before shifting to leadership development and executive coaching, Gia spent 15 years in increasingly senior leadership roles in strategic communications and marketing. Her career began as the Media Director for Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum, the second highest elected official in the city of New York. Gia then became an Account Supervisor at Edelman’s New York Public Affairs practice, where her clients included Starbucks, Stanford University, and the National 9/11 Memorial. From there, Gia became the Vice President of Communications and External Affairs at the Times Square Alliance, managing communications and government relations for New York City’s second largest Business Improvement District and promoting major annual events such as New Year’s Eve. In her next role, she served as the Chief Communications Officer at the Hammer Museum at UCLA, one of Los Angeles’ leading contemporary art and cultural centers. Shifting her focus to leadership development, Gia completed her coach training and certification and became an executive coach in 2016.
