Veronica was named executive director of the Manatee Community Foundation in August 2023. Prior to that role she was a senior vice president and COO of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation. And before that she worked in human resources in health care, including managing 1,300 employees at Blake Medical Center in Bradenton.
Business Observer Managing Editor Mark Gordon and Veronica talked about some of her toughest leadership challenges under pressure — such as overseeing a nighttime hospital evacuation in a blackout. They talked about her best advice — namely, to fail forward and never wallow in what goes wrong. And they talked about how she immigrated with her family to the United States from Argentina when she was 19, initially a move she didn’t want to make.
