Bernadette Girvin
Bernadette Girvin, a former LPGA Tour player and 10 year veteran in the financial services industry, is passionate about her role as Chief Operating Officer with Gambin Financial Group. In 2019, after 9 years as a solo-entrepreneur and financial advisor managing her own practice, she formally partnered with Claudio Gambin of Gambin Financial Group to open their own office in downtown Orlando.
Bernadette is leading the strategic growth vision of the firm, overseeing financial performance and helping ensure a first-class, exceptional client experience. It is a top priority of hers to always be asking the question, “what can we do better?”. “As a former professional athlete, the competitive side of me is always wondering how we can get better. Whether that’s in the planning we do for our clients to help them achieve financial security, the efficiency and thoroughness of our operational processes or in the growth and development of our staff.”
Bernadette graduated from Ole Miss in 2003 with a B.S. in Psychology while playing on the Women’s Golf Team. After graduating and then playing for 3 years on the LPGA Tour, she joined the financial industry and worked in several different capacities but ultimately fell in love with building out successful teams and helping organizations execute on their strategic vision. “Our Core Values at GFG are Gratitude, Integrity, Loyalty, Personal Growth and Personal Responsibility and we try to make sure these values influence every decision we make.”
Outside of work, Bernadette is a proud mom to her two children, Gates, 7 months, and Presley, 3. She and her husband, Charles (who are both Orlando natives), live in College Park and love their community.
