Gina Biondo
Gina Biondo has 30+ years of experience in the investment industry starting in the go-go late 80s when she earned her Series 7 license to today's highly-regulated environment. For most of that time, she was in a marketing function. However at her previous and current employers, she ended up getting her principals licenses and being responsible for review, approval and record keeping of marketing/advertsing material. Gina formally made the move to Compliance in 2012. She heads a team responsible for marketing material review for their private RIA-advised real estate funds, their European domiciled funds and US public non-traded REITs. Her duties have expanded to include cross-border marketing and international regulatory issues. Gina enjoys reading the rules, working with various outside counsel firms to see how they can balance regulatory requirements with marketing needs. Additionally, she is responsible for "pay-to-play" compliance and has learned the fine art of saying "no" to executives. In her spare time, Gina volunteers with various democratic groups and believes that participation is the key to change.
