About Vanessa

Hi! I’m Vanessa- a former investment banker (technology and healthcare) 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 50+ 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 across the UK and US markets. I have also helped students land admissions to top business schools in the UK, Europe, and the US. Whether you’re refining your story, preparing for interviews, or thinking through your next bold move- I’d love to be in your corner!
