Gina Riley is an authority in career transition at the powerful convergence of career coaching, executive search, and interview skills training. She created the Career Velocity™ system to help leaders and executives effectively map out and manage career transitions with strategies that last throughout their careers.
With an executive recruiter’s perspective advising boards of directors and leadership teams, Gina uses her expertise to pull back the curtain on unseen recruitment processes and unheard conversations to give her career transition coaching clients an edge.
Gina brings 20+ years as an HR professional from Fortune 50 to nonprofits, is a YouMap® certified coach, holds a Master’s degree in Whole Systems Design, and spends additional time consulting for Talence Group Executive Search. As a two-time Disrupt HR speaker and frequent presenter, Gina is sought after for her inspirational thought leadership on career transition management, professional networking, branding, and leadership development.
Gina’s point of difference is the creation of the Career Velocity program with a systematic approach to branding, storytelling, value proposition, and job search strategies which help people position themselves as a “business solution” with an undeniable “sharp tool.” Her clients say her unique approach helps them connects “familiar dots in new ways” that help them position themselves as authoritative problem solvers to accelerate career movement.
As a prolific writer, Gina’s popular series, “How Your Next Executive Role Finds You” showcases stories of leaders who made successful career transitions through the power of networking.

I have many client and candidate stories that relate to story telling and career transition. I think one of the best representations of my thought leadership is on the Find Your Dream Job podcast hosted by Mac Prichard (global rank in the top 5% of all podcasts).

I like to help people better communicate their stories so they can be seen, heard, and considered an expert in their industry.
Inspired by personal development programs, at the age of 16, I initially thought I was destined to be a motivational speaker and would help people improve their communication and relationship skills.
After pursing a career in Organizational and Leadership Development I've taken my passion for clear communication and channeled that towards helping help people organize and communicate their career stories and professional brand attributes in a powerful way.
I now sit at the convergence of Executive Search consulting, career transition coaching, and interview skills training. My Executive Search experience gives me unique insights into what client companies want in a leader and how to recruit and interview top talent.
I see the mistakes executives make in interviews and able to bring those insights into an unparalleled coaching model I use with clients.
I also train managers to be more effective interviewers with a customized interview course I co-designed and deliver for Talence Group Executive Search and Consulting.
My Career Velocity System model is proven and has helped leaders I work with to transition to their next role in 4-6 months 85% of the time.
Constantly folding in fresh, relevant ways for my clients to accelerate their career transition success, I help leaders position themselves as authoritative problem solvers and unique solutions providers or a "business in a business".
My coaching approach is customized and individualized with focus on actionable ways to help clients get “career velocity” so they can deliver their career story in a powerful way that resonates.
