Meet Veronica
Veronica Larios, CEO & Principal Consultant
My understanding of business started long before I became a consultant.
I grew up watching my late father build and run his own business. Seeing the responsibility, sacrifice, and pride that came with entrepreneurship shaped the way I think about business owners and the work they carry.
Over the past twenty years, I have worked across operations, systems, finance, human resources, compliance, leadership, consulting, and coaching. That experience taught me how businesses operate, but working directly with founders taught me that no two people carry their business the same way.
Some clients need an honest assessment and a clear plan. Others need an experienced advisor to think through decisions, evaluate opportunities, or work through challenges.
Sometimes the work involves business strategy, organizational structure, or improving how the business operates. Other times, the focus is on the person leading the organization and the responsibilities that come with it.
I adapt to what is actually needed. I bring experience, perspective, and practical support to the work, but I do not force every client into the same process.
A wife, mother, grandmother, and active community and nonprofit board member. Those roles shape how I lead and listen, inside and outside the business.
VGL & Co. works with a limited number of clients at a time because meaningful advisory work requires attention, honesty, and real involvement.
Every client receives the full depth of the work, not a templated version of it.

Our Mission
At VGL & Co., our mission is to help business owners build businesses that support their vision, their people, and the future they're working toward.
Through business consulting, strategic advisory, and executive coaching, we provide the expertise, perspective, and support to help businesses grow sustainably without losing sight of what matters most.
We believe a successful business should create opportunity and space, not simply more work for the people behind it.
What We Believe
Honesty is the foundation of meaningful work.
We believe the best working relationships are built on honesty, integrity, and mutual respect. We value open conversations, thoughtful challenges, and working with people who care as much about how they do business as what they accomplish.
People are at the heart of every business.
Behind every business are people with ambitions, responsibilities, and lives beyond their work. We believe success should support their wellbeing, not come at its expense. The way a business operates should create room for its owners and teams to thrive, both personally and professionally.
Structure should create freedom, not complexity.
Business practices, processes, and systems should serve the people using them, not create unnecessary complexity. We believe the right support gives business owners more room to think, lead, and make intentional decisions.
Build for the vision, not just the immediate need.
Our work goes beyond solving today's challenges. We consider the bigger picture, helping business owners make decisions and implement improvements that support their long term vision. What we create should be practical, sustainable, and able to evolve with the business.
