I had the pleasure of working alongside Vanessa day in and out at Mobile Messenger…and it was a lot of fun! Vanessa is a true gem and was great asset to the company. She has a great ability to drive and build processes and people together to achieve a strong and growing environment. A natural leader and someone whom will give her very best to any task put before her. Together we assisted the Mobile Messenger AU office transition to the USA to the very end and during this task her positive and proactive attitude, excellent people management skills and professionalism took us over the finish line with a sense of success. She is a great HR manager whom will completely dedicate 100% to the job. I highly recommend Vanessa to any organization seeking a reliable and enthusiastic HR manager whom will no doubt impact the business in a significant way!!

I worked with Vanessa for almost 5 years at Mobile Messenger. I admire Vanessa for her passion and dedication to the company and for the strong commitments to provide to the company a structured HR model with defined processes around performance review, recruitment, induction, training, team building, etc. Vanessa has been a big contributor to the structural and financial growth of the company and at the same time she managed with high professionalism the difficult moments of downsizing and the complete closure of the Australian operation. Vanessa is not only a dedicated HR Manager, she is also a very nice person everyone can rely on. I would recommend Vanessa to any company looking for someone who believes in people and the benefits of empower them.
