Meet the team

At Ski Armadillo, there are a handful of key people involved in creating your holiday. We may be a small team, but our combined knowledge of Verbier and Meribel, skiing and running a successful company speaks volumes.

  • Jessie Leggo

    Head of Creative & Content

    After working in the Brand team of an e-commerce company in London for several years, COVID & impending Brexit restrictions brought me to Verbier for a season in winter 2020, which turned into 3 years & counting! I’ve always thought of myself as a ‘summer person’, so the snow took some getting used to, but now I’m an avid snowboarder and I absolutely love living in the Swiss Alps!

    I’ve always had a love for the Mountains and, after graduating from Nottingham Trent University with a 1st Class Honours in Business Management & Marketing, I spent numerous seasons in and around the stunning 3 Valleys before moving permanently to Meribel with my husband and Springer Spaniel.

    Now settled back in the UK with my young family, I joined the Ski Armadillo team back in November 2013, and I’m here to ensure that you’re holiday to Verbier is as enjoyable as can be. Email: marie@skiarmadillo.com

  • Dan Boniface

    Sales Manager

    In November 1997, having already experienced ski holidays with school and friends, I jumped in my car and drove out to the French Alps to try and find a job. After a few weeks, I managed to get employment with First Choice Ski in Les Deux Alpes working in a hotel. The rest they say is history! After a further 4 winters in France as a Ski Tech and Rep, I moved to Brighton in 2003 to sell ski trips to school groups. In 2017, I decided that I had one more season left in me so headed out to Val d’Isere to work as a Driver for a luxury chalet company.

    This time though I took my wife and 2 young daughters with me! We went for 6 months and ended up staying for 4 years and it was a wonderful experience for the whole family. Now though, I am delighted to be back in Brighton working for Ski Armadillo and am really looking forward to helping organise the perfect chalet holiday for you in one of the world’s greatest ski resorts!

  • James Carroll

    Operations Director

    After finishing University I wasn’t sure what to do with my life. Luckily, a friend had been on a snowboarding holiday so we decided to head to the Mountains and do a winter season together. Not knowing exactly what I was getting myself into, it was a career changing moment as the next six months proved to be an experience like no other, with a unique blend of working, snowboarding and a lot of apres!

    This industry has allowed me to follow my passion, discover new cultures and gain friends all over the world. From starting out as a humble ‘wannabee snowboarder’ to progressing through the ranks and becoming a Chalet Host, Chalet Manager, Resort Manager, Area Manager and now Overseas Operations Manager. I have gained some great experiences over the last 10 years and long may they continue! Email: james@skiarmadillo.com

  • Tom Wilson

    Managing Director

    After leaving university with a marketing degree, and spending 2 years backpacking round Asia, Australasia, South Africa, South America and North America, I decided it was time to return to Brighton, settle down and get a ‘proper job’. Pursuing a career within the travel industry was an obvious choice, having gained 10+ years’ experience as a marketing manager for both large corporations and privately owned businesses.

    Having skied extensively across Europe and North America, I’m delighted to working with such a dedicated team of skiing enthusiasts. When I’m not fully immersed into all things winter related, my 3 young children are always keeping me occupied outside of ‘working hours’. Email: tom@skiarmadillo.com
