About Vanessa

I bring over a decade of experience in portfolio management, currency hedging, and strategic product development across global markets. I’ve worked with both large institutions and growing teams to design solutions that drive impact and efficiency.

I’m passionate about helping startups refine their business strategies, scale operations, and navigate complex financial and operational challenges. My approach is hands-on: I focus on practical insights, leveraging data-driven decisions, and connecting founders with the right resources to accelerate growth.

I enjoy mentoring founders who are ambitious, curious, and ready to turn innovative ideas into real-world results. Whether it’s refining your business model, optimizing your operations, or tackling financial strategy, I’m here to guide, challenge, and support you.
