About Vanessa

Hi! I’m Vanessa- a former investment banker turned operator and investor. I’ve worked across M&A and capital markets at top firms in NYC and London, built startups from 0 to 1, and advised founders at global accelerators. Along the way, I’ve helped 40+ professionals break into investment banking, pivot into operating tech roles, and craft their career journey. I’m especially passionate about coaching talent from underrepresented backgrounds, navigating high-stakes career transitions. Whether you’re refining your story, preparing for interviews, or thinking through your next bold move- I’d love to be in your corner!
