Overview
Gina K. Abercrombie-Winstanley (born 1957) is the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Malta, an American career diplomat, and a keynote speaker. She was nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed on March 29, 2012. She was sworn in on Wednesday, April 18, 2012, and presented her credentials to H.E. Dr. George Abela, President of Malta, on Wednesday, May 2, 2012.[1]
Abercrombie-Winstanley was the first female Consul General in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where, she says, she was given the status of “honorary male” because she was a foreign diplomat. While there, she survived a deadly al-Qaeda terrorist attack on the consulate on December 6, 2004, and was cited “for acts of courage” during the attack.[2]
