Oct 07, 2025
If you’ve ever hesitated to negotiate your salary…
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re aiming too high…
If you’ve ever questioned whether women really can rise in fast-moving, male-dominated industries…
Then you need to meet Gina Zimmer.
Gina is the Senior VP of NYC Operations at the New York State Restaurant Association — a powerhouse leader who built her career during one of the roughest economic moments in recent history and still rose to the top. She’s bold, strategic, refreshingly honest, and fiercely committed to helping women own their financial independence.
That’s why she’s the featured guest on this week’s episode of The Empowered Money Girl — and why this conversation belongs in your earbuds ASAP.
Meet Gina Zimmer: A Woman Who Didn’t Wait for Permission to Lead
What makes Gina so compelling is simple:
She didn’t start her career in ideal conditions — she started in chaos.
During the worst recession, when job markets were shaky and opportunities seemed scarce, she found her lane, built her skills, and climbed with determination. Gina’s journey is a masterclass in grit, strategy, and refusing to play small in rooms where women are often underestimated.
Her story resonates with:
- Women navigating career transitions
- Women in competitive or male-dominated fields
- Women who want to ask for more but fear rocking the boat
- Women learning to trust their voice, value, and instincts
She is the kind of leader who brings clarity and confidence with every sentence.
Why THIS Episode Will Shift How You Think About Money & Career Power
