Victoria Bondoc started Gemini with the odds stacked against her—a woman in the male-dominated defense community and a minority. To establish an initial business base, she worked on a contract to support US Army Military Police black market crime investigations in Panama in the months leading up to the US invasion of Panama and the capture of General Manuel Noriega. She credits Gemini’s No-Fail, No-Excuses customer support to the innovative strategies the company employs to overcome challenges and succeed.
