we help teams get where they want to go Gilmore began a professional career as a broadcast journalist at an ABC television affiliate on Florida's Suncoast and quickly ascended to news director because of her exceptional ability to translate complex government, business, and community issues into language that resonated with viewers in the nation’s fourteenth largest media market. Business leaders and public officials trusted Gilmore when accuracy was critical to communicating matters of public interest. She later worked at one of the world’s largest advertising agencies marketing international brands-- including Coca Cola, Bic, and Warner Lambert brands-- from the firm’s New York City headquarters. After earning an MBA degree Gilmore was hired into a market innovation unit of a national telecom that became Verizon Communications. There, she performed market and consumer research for a cross functional team comprised of business development managers, technology experts, and government affairs specialists that developed the corporation's business plans for bringing emerging technology to market. That experience honed her ability to leverage technologies and data in designing market driven products and services. She was recognized by the White House for innovating federally funded programs; the business model she moved from concept to reality became a benchmark for driving innovation in government operations. Throughout her time in the executive ranks of government she collaborated with visionaries and integrated business development principles that resulted in systemic changes in public policies, as well as in service delivery. She has guided organizations in building high performing teams and promoting internal cultures where innovation is rewarded. Her business acumen is recognized by achievements such as her 2009 selection as chairwoman-elect for the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, where membership numbered nearly 1,800, and election as vice chair of Tampa-Hillsborough Economic Development Corporation. While Gilmore has spent significant time driving policy, process, and program innovations nationally, she believes people have the highest impact on the future.
