RIVERDALE, Utah - s4story -- Frank and Jana Westerbeke are the visionary leaders behind Gadabout and VerVe, a Tucson-based luxury brand comprising five SalonSpas, one VerVe Aveda Lifestyle location, and a dedicated corporate resource center.

Continuing the legacy founded in 1979 by Jana's mother, Pamela McNair-Wingate, Frank and Jana have evolved the company into an industry powerhouse while maintaining its heart as a family-owned business. Both began their journeys as stylists—Jana as the company's very first intern and Frank as one of its earliest hires—giving them a deep, "behind the chair" understanding of the creative and professional needs of their 250-plus employees.

Known for their people-first philosophy, the Westerbekes focus on fostering an intrapreneurial environment where education and personal growth are paramount. Their leadership is deeply influenced by the principles of radical candor, empathy, and community service. Under their guidance, Gadabout and VerVe have earned numerous global accolades for leadership and culture, remaining a cornerstone of excellence for clients and the Tucson community alike.
