Vanessa didn’t grow up as an only child, the American shared her childhood with two brothers known as Anthony Lucido and Rusty James Lucido. The trio spent their growing up years on their parent’s ranch, experimenting with horses and drill rigs. The CEO’s childhood experiences were what inspired her love for horses. According to Lucido, she was only exposed to two sounds during her formative years, the growling sound of heavy machinery in the drill rigs churning up the ground and the sound of horses as they canter around in a pasture. She also enjoys embarking on sporting activities such as long-distance relay runs.

Between 2008 and 2011, Vanessa Lucido was working at her family company, Becho Inc. as a safety director. After Becho Inc. was sold by the family in 2011, her dad went on to launch another company ROC Equipment. Her family suffered a personal tragedy that saw the death of their father in 2012; the cause of death was listed as an industry-related tragic accident. The patriarch of the Lucido family was 59 at the time of his demise.

According to the Lucido family tradition, the first child to graduate from college takes over the leadership of the company irrespective of position. Thus, Vanessa who happened to be the first to bag a Bachelor’s degree became the chief executive officer of ROC Equipment after the death of their father. The CEO was just 26 when she assumed leadership, her youth notwithstanding, she already learned all she needed while working alongside her dad and two brothers at the drilling contracting company, Becho Inc. Besides, their father’s sudden demise hit her like a wake-up call, leading the young boss to be perceptive, strong, and strategic.

Currently, the ROC Equipment drilling business is involved in History Channel’s reality television program, The Curse of Oak Island (sixth season) where Vanessa Lucido teamed up with treasure-hunting brothers Ricky, and Marty Lagina to excavate an HB borehole on the island.

She has turned ROC Equipment into a multi-million dollar business

But since Vanessa took over in 2012, the company has broken new frontiers and widened its horizons. In fact, it has gone from a medium-sized venture to a multi-million dollar business. She is versed in retail and heavy equipment which is not a surprise, considering her kind of job. Her accumulated experience has also made the American national a professional safety consultant.

The CEO leveraged her contractor field experience and safety training to bring viable improvements to their equipment.
