Geraldine Aquino brings over 20 years of experience in all areas of direct sales, from field representative to corporate executive. As a child growing up in a direct selling home, she quickly discovered that direct sales was the perfect avenue for women to realize their goals and dreams while trying to balance a family and work life. At a very young age, she gained a respect and passion for an industry that could literally change a woman’s life overnight. When one woman’s life changes, so do the lives of her children and everyone around her.

Geraldine was hired as Chief Operating Office of LEO North America in June 2014. Prior to that Geraldine was Vice President of Sales for Cloelle Designs and before that was the Director of Sales Development and Training for Silpada Canada, the top party plan jewellery company in North America where she was instrumental in building the Canadian market reaching record breaking sales and developing an army of women entrepreneurs.

She has held the role of Executive Director for non-profit organizations dedicated to the education and training of disadvantaged groups such as women and youth.  Geraldine has led established and start-up companies to enormous success. As a hands on direct sales field leader and an established corporate executive, she combines the best of both worlds: a love for working in and with the field as well as the proven skills and knowledge necessary to operate and build a successful company. An entrepreneur at heart, Geraldine has also owned and operated her own successful businesses in telecommunications, training and education. 

Geraldine’s motto is, Live life by design not by default. We are all in control of what we do and the paths in life we take, whether we achieve our goals or we don’t. She believes that direct sales fosters the entrepreneurial spirit in all of us and allows us to believe in not only the dreams that are bigger than ourselves, but more importantly it teaches us how to believe in ourselves. That is where true success lives.  Geraldine has built her reputation in the direct sales industry by coaching and developing leaders to achieve their goals and turn their wildest dreams into reality and she looks forward to continuing that success in LEO.
