DELL RABINOWITZ

Urban E Recycling

Dell is a businesswoman, a mother, and a grandmother. Florida native and serial entrepreneur, she became the co-founder and president of Urban E Recycling, established in 2012. Concerned about the environment, Dell saw far too many electronics were landing in rivers, dumping sites, and landfills. She set out to solve this problem locally and now the entire state of Florida.The missing piece she realized was that the disposal process was cumbersome and inconvenient. Dell resolved the problem by creating a company that picks up electronics, shreds hard drives, and properly recycles electronics at no charge. She knew precious metals could be extracted from the equipment; enough value to grow into a bona fide company.

GINA VONEYE

Gina VonEye Marketing Studio

For the better part of two decades, Gina VonEye tapped politely on the glass ceiling, earning a string of marketing leadership roles, attaining prominence as one of the most recognizable figures in the pharmaceutical industry, and orchestrating a score of product launches on behalf of household names such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck Pharmaceuticals, and Kaiser Permanente. All of which a prequel for her independent breakthrough in February 2020.

Early on, Gina sought to occupy a professional space that leveraged her spirited work ethic and experienced strategic mindset as an individual. Yet, in the time since, she’s found the intellectual value she brings to her clients has become larger in scope and more inclusive of her contributing partners as well. Today, the GVM brand stands for a lot more than the initials of its founder; it stands for the collective talents of its team members. A smashing achievement in itself!
