LeeAnna brings over 11 years of B2B and B2C experience to the VSSL crew, with roots in Boston at a luxury diamond company as well as in sunny San Diego at a SaaS start-up. Though she is a New Englander at heart (Dunkin Donuts forever), the waves and sun of the Pacific Coast have been calling her name for years and so she's made Southern California her home. In her free time, you can catch her at a concert, on the beach, or consuming tacos and tequila (an SD staple) somewhere outside. She's also still holding out for Justin Timberlake's heart, so if anyone has a connection there...
