Testimonials
Our board has had a relationship with Kris for several years and has benefited from her governance expertise in two separate engagements. Her knowledge is wide and deep, allowing us to enjoy comprehensive support. Her considerable experience as a lawyer and corporate secretary along with her many years advising a large, diverse client base yields valuable insight and solid guidance. She is accessible, reliable, thorough, practical, and flexible. And she is a pleasure to work with! I am confident that when future governance matters arise, we will turn to Kris for her wise and winsome counsel.

We initially engaged Kris and the Veaco Group on a Board governance consulting and education project to increase our board’s effectiveness. This included a review of our governance policies, procedures and documentation as well as elements of Board roles. Kris provided a thorough review of our current policies and offered actionable, practical advice on areas we could update. Kris later participated on our Search Committee as part of a leadership transition we were managing. In both projects, Kris’ experience in advising public and private companies on a variety of governance issues informed her expert and practical advice. She was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate the counsel she provided.

I have the greatest respect for Kris' legal skills and her judgment in corporate governance and other matters. She was responsible for the Corporate Secretary's Office at McKesson for many years and continued to advise us on governance matters for some time thereafter. She is very professional, discreet and highly trustworthy, and it has been a pleasure working with Kris.

Every Board needs a great Corporate Secretary who understands the process, the regulations and the inherent liabilities Board service entails. Kris came to us in a time of great need and I knew we were in good hands. She was very organized, thoughtful and jumped right in contributing her expertise and strong work ethic to the smooth operations of the Board.

As Chairman of the Board of Directors of a community bank, I felt it was essential to have a knowledgeable, friendly and efficient expert to support the board. I found that in Kristina Veaco. Having a dedicated person to make sure the procedures and documentation of the bank's business are timely and comprehensive is literally worth its weight in gold. I recommend the Veaco Group as the consultant firm to support your board.
