VERONICA WASTY
Veronica Wasty is the co-creator and partner of the Ultimate Girls Getaway. Eighteen years ago, Veronica and her mother Nadja organized the first Ultimate Girls Getaway and the fun hasn't stopped. Together they have discovered that in their busy lives there was never enough time to enjoy themselves, their girlfriends, or to do the things they love to do……unless they really got away!! After years of receiving feedback they created the “perfect getaway” at the luxurious Resorts and have arranged an amazing program full of learning, fun and laughter.
Veronica believes that women can do great things even while having fun. The event raises money to sponsor our sisters and women survivors of war around the world through Women for Women International.
Veronica worked in the advertising industry for four years working before completing her MBA at The Schulich School of Business focusing on Strategy and International Business while also studying abroad at SDA Bocconi in Milan Italy. She is a believer of healthy living and the right and need for healthy food for everyone.
