The Gillian Ortega Story

Meet Gillian Hennessy Ortega

A Legacy of Determination

Gillian Ortega immigrated to the USA in 1979 with only $20 and a dream in her heart. She arrived in the land of opportunity believing that if God gives you a dream, He gives you the ability to achieve it.

The Dream

God Gave Her A Dream

The path was not always smooth, but the journey was certain. Every dream has a destination, and every destination has a beginning.

Single-Parent Home

Lessons from a Single-Parent Home

She came from a one-parent household, where her loving mother imparted to her courage, independence, and a fierce fire to champion change and transformation. And that is exactly what she did.

Humble Beginnings

She Only Made $20 Per Week

Gillian's beginnings were humble - her first paying job in America was that of a nanny, earning only $20 per week.

Her First Job

Every Dream Has a Beginning

Gillian appreciated her nanny job and loved the children that she took care of but she had bigger plans than just being a nanny. She dreamed of starting her own business and making a positive impact on the world.

First Taste of Success: Cheerleading

The Cheerleading Era: Learning to Dream Bigger

Shortly thereafter, she transitioned into a professional cheerleader. The NBA Cheerleading SQUAD selected her because they said with her "infectious enthusiasm about life and work ethic she was coachable and trainable." She cheered for the NBA Kansas City Kings for 3 years before the Team relocated to Sacramento and are now renamed the Sacramento King's.

Breaking Barriers in Tech

The Corporate Climb: Tech & Systems Operations

Before finding her true calling, Gillian worked in computer science, operating the IBM System 36 for a major Kansas City company. But something was missing... she knew she was meant for more.

A New Chapter: Building a Business & A Family

Motherhood & The Mary Kay Revolution

After marrying her husband Vince Ortega in 1982 and later giving birth to their son, Vincent Ortega Jr., Gillian felt compelled to dedicate more time to nurturing her family. Her dreams aligned with a higher calling, expanding globally.

God's Calling

Dream Expands to Global Impact

Her dreams combined with God's call to her, expanded beyond a local reach and pulled her toward global impact.

Finding Her Destiny

Mary Kay: The Vehicle to Her Dreams

Gillian found her position of destiny inside of Mary Kay Inc. In less than twelve years, she realized her dream and reached the pinnacle of success achieving the rank of National Sales Director, earning multi-millions of dollars, setting company sales records, winning numerous awards and achievements, and mentoring hundreds of thousands around the world.

Faith, Family, and Career

God, Family, Career

Many may say it was the "luck of the Irish," that has allowed Gillian to achieve so much; but her character demonstrates it was her faith in God, love for her family, an innate determination to reach her dreams, a positive attitude no matter the challenge, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
