Gina Romero is a serial entrepreneur who openly shares that she’s failed in business multiple times since the age of 16—not out of pride, but because she believes failure is a powerful driver of growth and success.

She is the Founder and Head of Special Projects at Connected Women, a high-growth services company delivering AI and digital task outsourcing solutions. With the tagline “Bringing Opportunities Home,” Connected Women empowers Filipino women through socially responsible online work and is building the inclusive workplace of the future by scaling women’s participation in tech. Under her leadership, Connected Women has gained international recognition for its impact in inclusive innovation, the future of work, e-employment, and women’s empowerment. She is also a recipient of the TOWNS Award (The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service)—a national honor given to women who demonstrate exceptional commitment, leadership, and positive impact on society.
