About Vanessa

In my 18 years of experience in marketing and 10 years in leadership roles, I’ve transformed marketing across startups, scale-ups, non-profits, and enterprise organizations. What I love to do is balance the art and creativity of great brand storytelling with the process and performance-driven architecture that delivers results for the business while creating love and loyalty in its customers.

Over the years, I have been involved with a number of professional organizations that aim to elevate, educate, and inspire, including: the CHIEF network for executive women, CMO Coffee Talk for CMO/VP-level leaders, the American Marketing Association, Sales Assembly for developing revenue teams, and as a mentor for the WMNtech Leaders program that supports women tech leaders in building their careers.

Originally from Atlanta, I now reside in Chicago with my husband, daughter, and elderly cat. I received my Bachelors at UCLA, and blame my time in Hollywood for a stint in film and theater, the gateway job that eventually led me to marketing.
