Jade has honed her sales skills for over 12 years. From selling desktop 3D printers to launching the Chicago market for Virtuance (and several more roles after), she now leads the Sales & Marketing team. Jade is a proud Chicago native that also loves to travel the world and has a passion for the outdoors. Camping, hiking, kayaking, and any general exploring are where she and her wife are in their "happy place." Jade also has 2 beloved cats and isn't afraid to share her passion for all cats (and animals alike)! Fun fact: Jade was also a film photographer (too bad Virtuance doesn't produce black & white images of properties or she could double as a Partner in the field!).

Ollie came to Virtuance all the way from Cambridge, UK, and has worked in a wide range of roles within the photographic industry along the way. Luxury fashion marketing, professional camera equipment sales, retouching royal portraits, lighting studio design, and a good few others in between! It's given him the chance to work out which part of photography he loves the most, and it’s safe to say that post-production comes out on top. There’s nowhere he’d rather be using those skills than here in Virtuance's Image Production Department! Photography and retouching are certainly Ollie‘s favorite pastimes, but somewhere along the lines he still makes time for the other important things in life; hiking, reading, relaxing on the beach, and spending hours in the kitchen trying to expand his culinary repertoire.

Jill spent most of her life in the Midwest, near the lakeshore of West Michigan. There she completed a BA in psychology before joining a private detective agency as a field investigator for 10 years.

She spent many years exploring the US and settled back in West Michigan with her family. After working as the Client Success Director, Jill has moved into a Project Management role with the Sales and Marketing Department, where she uses her knowledge of Virtuance systems and foundations to help move forward exciting new initiatives for the company. Outside of the office, Jill enjoys hiking with her pup, kayaking, playing the piano and traveling around the world.
