Vanessa is a former C-suite executive with over 30 years of experience, having served as CFO, CHRO and COO. Her career gives her a deep understanding of how senior leaders shape performance through everyday decisions, communication, and execution.
She now works with influential leaders at the heart of the business, helping them rapidly build practical coaching capability and act as effective change agents. Known for her sharp listening and clarity, Vanessa helps leaders’ surface real blockers, translate insight into action, and sustain performance through accountability and authentic leadership.
She has a real gift for helping leaders build what she calls “Executive Courage” – the ability to own your point of view and share it effectively with clarity and presence, especially in challenging environments.
A talented speaker, her story-telling and relational experiences, along with her warmth, humor, patience, and relationship building are the hallmarks of the coaching style she brings to every client engagement.
“To call Vanessa an extraordinary coach is a vast understatement. Not only is she highly skilled, highly educated, highly empathetic and emotionally intelligent, but she has a way of piercing through you to get to the heart of the matter and transform the way you look at a challenge or setback.”
— K. E., CEO
