When Pasha Entertainment decided to add a new layer to their already outstanding clientele by making their available for special events, they knew they would need a savvy, well spoken, energetic person with an entrepreneurial spirit to realize their vision.  The task developing this new department in the exciting fast paced company was given to Gina Colombo, the former dance studio owner and Vice President of Marketing and Development.

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Gina began her career in NYC, producing events in the fashion trade show industry.  In 2000 the opportunity arose to pursue a long time dream of owning a dance studio.  She went on to build a successful client base, performing with her students all over New England and on a Royal Caribbean cruise.  Dance Inc. was purchased by a colleague in 2004 when Gina took a developmental position for a construction remodel and maintenance company. Proving her adaptability and strength in sales and marketing, she quickly rose through the ranks and became Vice President managing a client base of over 100 properties, while maintaining a demanding project roster and overseeing a large staff.  

When Pasha Entertainment asked Gina Colombo to develop a Special Events department for their group of venues, there was no question that this chameleon of a sales person would be not only capable, she would add elements that the owners had never considered. The former dance studio and VP of a construction and maintenance company shattered the image that nightclubs only cater to nightlife enthusiasts, opening the doors of beautiful establishments like Rumor, Venu and District to an entirely new group of professionals. The vast array of events Gina has managed for the group include charity fundraisers, networking events, liquor launches, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet 16's, non-traditional weddings, corporate marketing and promotional events. 

Just as significant as the events that Gina manages for Pasha are the notable roster of hosts and speakers. During her short tenure, she has managed events featuring, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Governor Deval Patrick, Mayor Thomas Menino and Caroline Schlossberg-Kennedy. The most remarkable of all special event guests would be the current President of the United States, Barack Obama. On December 2, 2007, while campaigning in Massachusetts, the then Illinois Senator visited Venu to speak to his supporters, Generation Obama.  

There is no limit to the avenues that Gina is set to explore on behalf of Pasha Entertainment and she is well on her way to reaching her goal of making Pasha's venues premier event spaces in the city.
