Her career didn’t follow a straight line. Neither did her life.
In this episode of Hats On!, Vanessa shares the real story behind an unconventional career — from startups to corporate leadership — and the deeply personal journey she chose to speak about openly: IVF.
As a senior leader in the pharmaceutical industry and co-founder of Women in Mobile, her career reflects innovation, resilience, and reinvention. But behind the achievements is a story of uncertainty, difficult decisions, and moments that tested her strength in ways no one could see.
We talk about:
Building a non-linear career and trusting your own path
The loneliness of entrepreneurship and uncertainty
Redefining leadership through experience, not titles
Why visibility for women in tech still matters
The reality of IVF — physically, mentally, emotionally
Navigating pressure, expectations, and societal norms
Learning to stay grounded in a constantly changing world
From career pivots to deeply personal challenges, this conversation is about learning to move forward — even when nothing feels certain.
If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt behind, or gone through something no one talks about — this episode is for you.
