On today’s show, Jess speaks to Gina Pecore, CEO of Genoa Design International, who shares her insights on growth, company culture, and consistent HR practices. You’ll also learn why a people-first approach is critical for managing amazing growth.
Genoa is a production design firm that provides 3D modeling services for the shipbuilding industry and offshore industries.
Back in the early 1990s, Gina’s husband, Leonard Pecore found himself without a job after graduating with a Diploma in Naval Architecture. He decided to kickstart Genoa from his garage out of necessity. What started out as a bootstrap operation has grown into a multi-million-dollar business employing more than 200 people.
You’ll learn why Gina credits her team as the primary reason for the company’s incredible success. While the first 10 years were spent building a strong foundation, Genoa capitalized on their hard-work over the next decade.
You’ll discover Gina’s consistent, people-first HR practices and the reasons why these have helped Genoa grow from strength to strength.
As a successful leader managing a multi-million-dollar business, Gina calls out some common mistakes that high-growth businesses make when it comes to people management. In particular, you’ll learn how an intentional and proactive approach can help you prepare you, your business, and your leaders for the future.
