Bio
Robert Y.
I had the wonderful experience of working with Vanessa while incubating several start-up projects. She became my "right hand" and indispensable to my daily operations. Vanessa is an entrepreneur at heart, so she quickly adapted to my demanding style to get things done. Many times she just took charge, solving problems without my need to micromanage. She brought expertise, hard work, persistence, and personality to my team. You could always count on her for a smile and a positive attitude. For the thousands of people who've worked under me, Vanessa stands above the crowd.
