Vanessa has created many distinct opportunities for greater learnings and growth by saying YES, and figuring out the details later.


As the co-founder of Gift Better Co., Vanessa is focused on building a corporate gifting service that empowers businesses to build & strengthen relationships while fuelling social impact.


Vanessa graduated from Carleton University’s Communications Studies program in Ottawa and soon after moved to Toronto to delve further into the marketing world. Vanessa has worked in many different industries - from tech to beauty and music, and has led digital marketing campaigns for global brands, leading artists, and high growth tech start-ups.


Vanessa has also guest lectured at the City University of New York, the University of Ottawa and at conferences abroad (make sure to ask her about Tokyo!). And she is focused on her passion for helping brands and entrepreneurs use technology to tell stories and build community.
