Who the Hell is VSSL? 

Kate Bosco boards the VSSL ship as a graduate from USD with a Bachelors from the School of Business in Marketing and Business Administration. As our Director of Demand Generation, Kate leverages her analytical and innovative mind, using data and creativity to sink the competition. She's scrappy—and uses her entrepreneurial spirit to conquer any challenge. She also has a great sense of humor (especially at happy hour) and loves new experiences with authentic people.

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...

A West-Coaster for life, Grace sailed south from Seattle and feels right at home in San Diego as a sunshine-lover and wanna-be surfer. Grace comes to VSSL with an agency and startup background, utilizing her strong organizational and interpersonal skills to set the course for projects and keep clients happy. In her free time, you can find her at the dog beach, running at the Bay, or on a quest to find the best tacos and margaritas in the city!

After voyaging through different parts of the world, Chiara anchored in sunny San Diego. With a Bachelor’s in Marketing and Communication, she navigates the seas of Paid Media with a sharp eye for data-driven strategies. An adventurer at heart, she loves outdoor escapades with her loyal first mate, Randy (AKA "the Cow"), who joins her on every beach fishing adventure, making waves wherever they go. Also known as a happy hour enthusiast, Chiara embraces the golden hour with great food, a lively crew, and a refreshing drink in hand, ready to toast to another day well-sailed.

Kendyl joins the VSSL crew with experience managing and launching campaigns for many Fortune 100 companies. She is still exploring all that San Diego has to offer after just anchoring here. Being a foodie makes the first few stops a no-brainer. If she’s not trying new brunch or dinner spots, she’s outside in the sun hiking, swimming in the ocean, or simply taking a nap on the beach.

Jordan has 10+ years of experience sailing the seas of Search Engine Optimization and is an expert at helping brands generate leads. He’s passionate about crafting impactful inbound marketing experiences that benefit both consumers and sellers. When he’s not growing organic traffic, he likes to play board games, take trips to the mountains, or ride his bike for exercise.

As one half of VSSL’s dual-captain leadership, Tim is a veteran marketing leader with strong design sensibilities and a proven track record. His background in multiple venture-backed tech startups translates seamlessly into navigating current clients on voyages of tech success. He can also create a soundtrack for damn near anything. Seriously, he spent part of last summer touring the UK with his cover band.

Gene is VSSL’s Finance and Accounting Navigator, helping the team optimize performance through budgeting, analysis, systems integration and business process improvements. He’s no barnacle counter; his diverse finance skills gained from roles in both large corporate finance departments and a family-owned business earned him the title Handler of the Booty.

Born and raised in California, Lindsey set sail for San Diego 10 years ago and hasn’t looked back. With more than seven years of social media experience, she uses her creative yet analytical mind to put wind into our clients’ social media sails. When she’s not taking the con on content creation, Lindsey spends her time camping, cracking open White Claws, and keeping her puppy from eating just about anything it sees.

Richard brings over 15 years of in-house and agency experience bridging the gap between creative technology and frontend development. He's a passionate builder always looking for the next puzzle to solve and experience to craft. Although he has called the San Francisco Bay Area home for the past 25 years, his journey began in the United Kingdom, where he spent his early adulthood immersed in London's house and techno scene in the '90s. Richard co-ran the now infamous Eukatech record store, selling vinyl to a who's who of DJs and producers. To this day, he is still a passionate collector of vinyl and, on occasion, still spins records.

Lisa is a California native and has dropped anchor up and down CA’s pacific coast as well as in Montana and Paris, France. She loves traveling and exploring new places, and is always up for an adventure. Her marketing experience lies in both in-house and agency life, making her a strong asset to the VSSL crew. When not sailing the digital high-seas, she can be found being bossed around by her two dogs, Basil Dog (a red Siberian Husky with floppy ears) and Annabelle aka “The Snog” (a rescued hunting dog from Kauai).

As one half of the dual-captain command, David is a marketing executive with more than 20 years of experience in competitive roles — both in-house and within agency settings. David is passionate about helping clients grow their brand and engage their customers while also developing and empowering every member of the kick-ass VSSL roster.
