Biographie
Virginia Salas Kastilio is a visionary storyteller, entrepreneur, and one of the original influencers of the digital age. She has lived a nomadic life since the age of three, attending 15 schools in three languages across the globe. Her passion for performance began early-at just five years old, she attended her first audition. By thirteen, she had starred in and edited her first film, shot on 35mm in black and white and hand-cut on a traditional splicer.
In 2004, Virginia began filming her life, and in 2007 she posted her first YouTube video, marking the start of an unparalleled archive of her life on camera. This lifelong dedication to documenting her journey has made her one of the earliest and most consistent creators across platforms.
Her first major film experience came in 2005 when she was cast as Amanda Bynes' stand-in and double in the feature Lovewrecked. Before stepping fully into entrepreneurship, Virginia built a high-level corporate career-working at Apple's European headquarters, where she was part of a two-person team generating $1B annually, and later at Oracle, living in Malaga, Spain. In 2016, she launched BBC One's Snapchat channel in London, which went viral, cementing her reputation as a leading voice in digital media.
Since then, Virginia has become a sought-after global speaker, facilitator, media personality, and creative force-appearing on stages worldwide and collaborating with brands, festivals, and movements that align with her values. Recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Top 27 Women to Change the World and by Hacker Noon as one of the Top 16 Women in NFTs, she is known for bridging the worlds of business and art while advancing projects rooted in community, innovation, and impact.
Blending a deep commitment to humanity with a mastery of storytelling, Virginia continues to shape culture through her art, activism, and presence. A pioneer in both digital media, regenerative finance and conscious community building, her life's work bridges entertainment, leadership, and transformation-leaving an indelible mark on audiences across the world.
