Gina Hefner

Wealth Management Associate

My first experience in the corporate world began just after graduation from UNC Chapel Hill in 1993. I began my career at IBM in IT sales & sales management and thoroughly enjoyed it over the following 25 years. In my varied career, I worked with clients & partners across multiple industries including financial services, insurance, manufacturing, higher education and government. 

My experience gave me the opportunity to do what I love most, building strong relationships with clients and supporting them in their goals. After taking some time off from the corporate world, my role as a wealth management associate with Destination Wealth was a great transition. I’ve been able to utilize my corporate & management skills in various capacities in my role. Most importantly, I’ve enjoyed getting to know our clients and supporting our financial advisor.

As a native of Tennessee, I have been fortunate to be a North Carolinian for all of my adult life and love the proximity to the beach as well as the mountains. My husband Kelly and I are the proud parents of three children ranging in age from high school to college age.

Outside of work, I am fortunate to be able to volunteer my time, through a non-profit, tutoring underprivileged elementary school children in reading and have been doing so for the last several years. Over the last 3 years, I have also served on their board as both Chairman, Vice Chair and head of the Outreach Committee. In my spare time, I enjoy supporting my children in their athletics, being in the outdoors, listening to live music, reading, spending time with family & friends and I am an avid knitter!

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
