HOLLY PELLETIER
Co-founder / Operating Officer / Finance

Holly began her career in the entertainment industry as an actress and director of live theater in San Francisco and the Lake Tahoe area before moving to Los Angeles in 2001. After being selected out of nearly 60,000 applicants for MTV’s Road Rules reality TV show (where she met and later married Chadwick), Holly ventured into the world of corporate finance. Holly found the world of finance to be as competitive and challenging as Hollywood itself, and in 2003, she progressed from the status of greenhorn trainee, to running an entire brokerage firm in Malibu. Since then, Holly has worked at many of the top financial firms in Los Angeles as a loan officer, processor and financial consultant, and strongly believes the key to her success has been applying her creative intuition to the highly structured industry of finance.

Along with her skill set in corporate finance, Holly has unique abilities in problem solving – a faculty that allows her to look at virtually any given challenge (and/or creative project) and tweak it to make it work. So along with keeping VFT’s books in order, she also helps polish formats on outgoing Creative. This unique blend of " structured conceptualist" meets "creative intuitive" lends to her overall impact at Veritas Film & Television.
