At Vectrona, success is achieved when we work with our teammates and clients to co-create a high-performance future that achieves a grand vision.
“Vectrona” is a combination of the English word “vector” and the Spanish suffix “-ona.” The word “vector” symbolizes our goal to innovatively align the direction of our efforts to create meaningful results of great magnitude; our “-ona.” The name draws us from our roots and inspires us forward to innovate and create a greater vision for the future.
