Meet Rita Green, the ultimate digital maven and community advocate who's all about making things happen. As the Chief Visionary and Founder of Geaux Fig Co., a rad digital design, systems, and tech support company, she's taken the South Mississippi entrepreneurial scene by storm. Rita recently joined forces with Yellow Rabbit PR & Marketing to form Geaux Rabbit Creative Services, an unstoppable powerhouse offering clients a killer combo of branding and marketing services.


Hailing from Biloxi, Mississippi, Rita is no stranger to hustling hard in the southeast business world. With 18 years of experience in consumer and business hospitality, she's made her mark on the region's tourism market. A believer in the power of education, Rita studied Business and Psychology at both the Universities of Southern Mississippi and New Orleans, with a certification for Restaurant Hospitality and Tourism from Florida Atlantic University.


Rita's heart for service shines through her work as Secretary of the Board for the Mississippi Center for Autism and Related Developmental Disabilities, as a volunteer for Jubilee Havens, an organization that advocates for the stop of human trafficking, and as Media & Marketing Director for the MS Senior World Pageant. Her dedication to community involvement has earned her a well-deserved spot on the cover of one of the largest South Mississippi Magazines, Gulf Coast Woman, as a feature for their Parenting issue, showcasing her as a successful “mompreneur”.


Recognition has followed this dope entrepreneur, with Rita racking up numerous awards and accolades. She was identified as one of 2023’s Most Successful Women by Gulf Coast Woman Magazine. In 2021, she was named one of Mississippi Business Journal's Top 50 Leading Businesswomen of Mississippi and received the MS Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce One Coast Top 10 Under 40 Business Award. She's also been honored as a Woman of Achievement Finalist for Lighthouse Business Professional Women and was selected as the recipient for the prestigious OPERATORS CHOICE AWARD (MCASC), recognizing her exceptional efforts to support Operators and the group tour industry while advocating for the MS Gulf Coast’s tourism experience. On top of that, Rita is a 3-time Bestselling Author with aspirations of contributing to the world of Children’s and Young Adult literature. 


Rita's mantra is a reflection of her values: "True reward is not defined by achievement, but rather measured through the lives touched globally." When she's not making waves in the business world, Rita is a cherished member of her local community, a loving wife, and the proud mom of four incredible children.
