Grace Astudillo Gibson is the owner and co-founder of Ogden Insurance Services LLC. Having come from Ecuador in the late 1980's as a widow with her young daughter she met and eventually married her husband Gordon. Shortly after moving to Wilmington, NC in the mid 1990's with her family, Grace endeavored to further her education with an eye towards entering the business community. With limited English skills at the time, she enrolled in classes at Cape Fear Community College obtaining her Associates Degree in communications and business. She also obtained accounting certificates for tax preparation.

After graduating, Grace accepted a job at a local insurance agency and began the process of learning all she could. At the same time she was providing basic tax services to many in the local Latino community. Eventually the owner of the insurance agency (seeing the potential for synergy of the services) pushed Grace to consolidate her tax business into his agency. She respectfully declined and in 2007 Grace opened her first business providing tax preparation services. Being one of the few business professional companies providing services to the Latino speaking community, Grace soon realized that she could use the skills and knowledge she learned in her previous insurance experience to provide insurance services to this community as well. She pushed forward obtaining her licenses first as an individual and then for her entity.

Those operations grew into Grace Tax and Insurance (GTI).

In Late 2019 Grace and Jamie agreed to form Ogden Insurance Services with the objective of utilizing the infrastructure and agency systems of GTI in order to expand those operations to provide Commercial Insurance Services to the Greater Wilmington, NC community both Latino and English speaking alike.
