Veronica’s career began in the events sector, organising fashion shows around the world for some of the top names in the industry. In 2009, she put her global network of connections to good use and set up The Anonymous, a discreet concierge service catering for the money-rich but time-poor. She remains an advisor to Innerplace, one of the top concierge companies in London and The Escapist Concierge from Monaco.

Veronica's love of travel inspired her to establish What a Wonderful World (WAWW), an online travel magazine that seeks out the unique and the new. In partnership with Robb Report, WAWW's mission is to make travel diverse, adventurous and fun.

Veronica was educated at Heathfield School, and the University of the Arts, in London.
