Meet Veronica.

Veronica is a serial entrepreneur whose career spans national advertising, staffing, integrative medicine, multi-location wellness services, brand development and sustainable manufacturing.

Throughout her career, she has specialized in recognizing emerging opportunities and transforming them into successful businesses, scalable operating models and nationally relevant brands.

She began her professional career as a commercial model, appearing in several major national campaigns. Building upon her experience within that industry, she founded Models District, a staffing agency that she owned and operated for ten years. The business marked the beginning of her entrepreneurial career and gave her extensive experience in business development, client relationships, talent management and day-to-day operations.

Veronica earned an Associate of Arts degree from Miami Dade College before completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Florida International University. She later earned a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master of Oriental Medicine, combining her interest in human behavior with advanced education in acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and integrative healthcare.

In 2010, Veronica moved to Shanghai, China, where she completed an intensive 18-month clinical internship at Shuguang Hospital. The experience strengthened her understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and gave her the opportunity to study within an international clinical environment.

After returning to Florida, she founded Acupuncture Centers of South Florida, a multidisciplinary wellness practice that she operated for ten years. The centers brought together acupuncture, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, massage therapy, professional stretching and aesthetic treatments within a coordinated model of care.

Veronica later founded Drip Therapies and created a sublicensing model that enabled other holistic healthcare practitioners to offer specialized IV therapy services. The concept expanded to five Florida locations and provided programs focused on wellness, performance, beauty, weight management, recovery and longevity.

Veronica’s transition into manufacturing began after meeting her husband, Armando, whose experience was shaped by a three-generation family manufacturing legacy. The first generation established the business by manufacturing metal locks, levers, pulleys, gates and fences. The second generation expanded its capabilities to include rolling doors and overhead doors.

Armando continued that evolution by adding grilles, hurricane shutters, hurricane-rated doors and fire-rated doors to the company’s manufacturing capabilities. The family business grew into an international operation whose work has supported major airports, stadiums, fire stations, parking garages and prominent high-rise developments.

With practical expertise in machinery, engineering, production and commercial-scale operations, Armando brought a deeply rooted manufacturing perspective to Veronica’s vision for sustainable disposable products. Recognizing the value of that experience, she appointed him Chief Operating Officer of Avolutions. Their partnership combined Veronica’s entrepreneurial leadership, scientific education and brand-building experience with Armando’s technical knowledge and ability to develop and scale manufacturing operations.

During their travels together, Veronica and Armando witnessed the global consequences of plastic waste—from heavily polluted rivers and oceans to wildlife harmed by discarded bags, bottles, fishing nets, straws and other plastics. Those experiences gave them a shared purpose and clarified the kind of change they wanted to build together.

From that shared purpose, Veronica envisioned products that businesses and consumers could use every day, allowing environmental responsibility to become a practical and accessible choice.

In 2019, that vision became Avolutions.

As Founder and CEO, Veronica has built Avolutions into a growing sustainable-products and manufacturing company. She has secured major national and international accounts, created successful brands and established manufacturing programs for three major national brands in addition to Avolutions and Avolutions Earth Edition.

Her early work with agave composites, cellulose and PHA-based materials helped position her as a leader within the sustainable-disposables industry. Many of the product concepts, material categories and brand strategies she introduced have since become increasingly visible throughout the marketplace.

Today, Veronica brings together her scientific education, healthcare background, brand-building experience and entrepreneurial leadership to guide Avolutions’ continued growth. Her work is centered on developing commercially viable alternatives to conventional plastic while helping customers create customized product programs that support their operational, branding vision and sustainability goals.

For Veronica, Avolutions represents more than a manufacturing company. It is the culmination of a career spent building businesses around emerging needs—and the fulfillment of a deeply held belief that thoughtful innovation can give people and organizations the power to create meaningful change.
