Deanna Mancoske Office Manager
We’re not saying that Deanna is Wonder Woman, but let’s just say we’ve never seen the two of them together at the same time. From putting out proverbial fires, to mopping up literal floods, if there’s something Deanna can’t do, we haven’t found it yet. And while her superpowers are many, her quick wit is by far her fiercest weapon. Deanna also brings her strong administrative background and years of accounting experience to Legato. She and her husband Chris have been married for 20-plus years and have six beautiful children. When she’s not busy momming, you may find her bartending at one of Wisconsin’s oldest supper clubs.
Legato Healthcare Marketing is a subsidiary of VSS Medical Technologies
