Bio

Gail Trugman-Nikol started her career in broadcast advertising, where she had multiple positions and responsibilities, including buying radio and television time for Fortune 500 companies, managing buying staff, selling programming to TV stations, and becoming the General Sales Manager for a TV station in Memphis, Tennessee.

In the mid 1980s, Gail turned her career focus to the computer industry, then in its infancy. She founded GLTN Computer Consultants on Long Island, growing the company over a nine-year period to two offices and a staff of twenty. She successfully sold the company in October 1997 and stayed in the industry until 2002.

After the horrific losses of 9/11, Gail realized that, to ensure business continuity and stability, there was a tremendous need for documenting and preserving a company’s vital information – and the knowledge of its employees.

In 2005, Gail established Unique Business Solutions, providing business executives with tools to protect their companies – by identifying the knowledge, expertise, and tasks at risk when losing key employees.

According to Gail, "The cost of losing a key employee is measured not just monetarily, but by the disruption it represents to the business workflow." Unique Business Solutions has enjoyed success ever since.

Gail is a board member of the Institute of Management Accountants and has spoken at its recent Annual Conferences, to rave reviews from the participants.

She has lectured nationally and locally, to groups including Vistage International, The Alternative Board, the National Association of Women Business Owners, the New York State Society of CPAs (NYSSCPA), and the Government Finance Officers Association.

Gail also is a published writer, with articles in The Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance, The New York Enterprise Report, Moore Stephens N.A. Newsletter and other publications.
