About Deborah
Gina Boedeker

Founder and CEO of The Boedeker Group

About Gina

Gina Boedeker is the founder and CEO of The Boedeker Group (TBG), a market research company that helps their clients gather insights from their target markets to help grow their businesses. After fifteen years in publishing, she left her role as managing director of a global educational publisher to start her own company—one that offered the flexibility she needed to “mom” on her own terms and pursue passions outside of work.  

She believes fiercely that you can deliver exceptional results professionally while living a full life. Making time for your passions, hobbies, adventures, friends, family and other priorities should be what you create your time around. She built her company around this premise and has grown it from an idea stage to a seven-figure business without having to sacrifice what is most important to her in her life.  

That’s the message she wants to share and is her motivation for writing Hard Stop. She wants more people to live their lives with intention and without regret.  

Originally from St. Louis, MO, she lived in New York City for fifteen years before moving to Boulder, Colorado with her family in 2020. She has a husband (Otavio), a daughter (Elena), and a son (Luiz). They are loving their lives out west and enjoy everything the mountains have to offer: climbing, hiking, skiing, ice climbing, even uphill skiing—yes! That’s a thing!
