Devesa Sarria
Sales and Marketing Director

Having spent the last 5 years working in luxury vacation rentals, Devesa is known for her keen ability to connect and establish a uniquely genuine rapport with clients and colleagues. She attributes this to her early life with her family moving almost every two years, five of which was living in South and Central America. Always being the new kid forces one to find common ground with people.  Devesa's career began in organizational change and leadership development.  "Be known for not just the latest trends in your area of expertise and their applications but their implications as well."  She has a passion for empowering clients to enjoy the magic of technology through simplifying technology and creating value.
