Meet Our Founders

Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Kelsey Legary, CFP, RRC
From Financial Planning to Sustainable Innovation
Kelsey’s journey began on the rugged coastlines of Vancouver Island, where a deep respect for nature shaped her passion for sustainability. After studying sciences at Vancouver Island University and Saskatchewan Polytechnic, she built a successful career in financial services, earning top credentials like CFP® and RRC®.
But her true calling was creating solutions that protect the planet for future generations—including her own two children. As a single mother, Kelsey understands the importance of building a world where communities thrive and opportunities are accessible to all.
Driven by this vision, she founded VercoTex to transform recycled plastics and agricultural byproducts into high-performance roofing solutions. Her leadership combines scientific expertise, financial insight, and a commitment to inclusive growth—championing partnerships with Indigenous communities and educational institutions to create training pathways and shared prosperity.

Together, Kelsey and Emily lead with purpose—proving that innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability can thrive side by side.
