Devin Corban, BPM

Chief Executive Officer

Hi, I'm Devin Corban, Chief Executive Officer of Veterinary Solutions Services. With over 20 years of experience in veterinary management, consulting, and operational leadership, I'm passionate about helping veterinary professionals thrive in their careers while building a better future for the industry.

Before co-founding VSS, I revitalized a stagnant veterinary practice, doubling its revenue and opening a second location, and managed large-scale projects at companies like Capital One and Netflix. I graduated high school at just 12 years old, and that early experience taught me how to navigate challenges and approach problems with creativity and strategy, lessons I still lean on today.

At VSS, I'm focused on innovation, empowering my team, and building genuine relationships with the clients and partners we work with. I'm also deeply committed to well-being in an industry that demands so much of the people in it, work-life balance is a core part of how I lead.

Outside of work, I live in Wyoming with my wife, Kala, our two daughters, and our three dogs, Cooper, Tucker, and Rosie. You'll usually find me camping in the Rockies, fishing, or playing guitar when I'm not at VSS.

I'd love to connect, whether it's collaborating on new ideas or just sharing stories. Let's create something extraordinary together.

Missy Tasky, DVM

Chief Operating Officer

Hello there. My name is Missy Tasky, and I'm a veterinary entrepreneur, thought leader, and consultant with over 30 years of experience in the industry. My journey has been fueled by a passion for animals, innovation, and helping others succeed.

I founded and grew Gentle Touch Animal Hospital from a single-doctor operation into a multi-million-dollar, multi-doctor practice, eventually leading it through a strategic sale at a remarkable valuation. As a veterinary consultant and CEO of MBM Partners, I've guided teams to improve profitability, patient care, and team cohesion, and helped navigate business acquisitions while mentoring the next generation of veterinary leaders. My education from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and Virginia Tech laid the groundwork, and I've continued growing through advocacy work with organizations like the Vet Care Coalition and Sierra Veterinary Medical Association.

At Veterinary Solutions Services, which I co-founded, I'm focused on redefining the veterinary industry through strategies that blend innovation, technology, and real support for veterinary professionals. Well-being is a major focus of mine, I believe in working hard and playing hard, and I strive to help veterinary professionals build practices that thrive without sacrificing balance in their own lives.

Outside of work, I love traveling, SCUBA diving, and skiing, along with time with family and friends at concerts, live theater, or with a good book. These moments keep me grounded and bring fresh perspective to my work.

Jessica Gonzales

Solutions Specialist – Valuation & Practice Sales & Transitions    

Hi, I’m Jessica Gonzales, a Solutions Specialist supporting the Valuation and Practice Sales & Transitions team at Veterinary Solutions Services. I bring more than 15 years of experience in veterinary medicine, spanning client service, practice management, multi-location support, and marketing. My experience comes from working inside high-volume veterinary hospitals, where I have led day-to-day operations, supported multi-location teams, and developed systems that help practices run more efficiently while improving both team performance and client experience.

Over the past several years, I have also led social media and marketing efforts at both the clinic and multi-clinic level, helping practices strengthen their online presence, connect more authentically with clients, and support overall growth. This work has given me a unique perspective. I understand not only how to market veterinary services, but also how those strategies must function within real, fast-paced clinical environments. At VSS, I use these skills to contribute to the company’s social growth and market intelligence strategy and implementation.

In my role at Veterinary Solutions Services, I combine my veterinary operations experience with a focus on providing an exceptional client experience, building strong relationships with practice owners, buyers, consolidators, and industry partners, and supporting clients throughout the valuation and practice transition process. I share VSS’s commitment to supporting not only veterinary practices, but also the people behind them. I am passionate about making a meaningful impact in a way that is practical, supportive, and aligned with the everyday realities of veterinary teams.
