I’m Vanessa Farino — a Forbes-featured entrepreneur, award-winning business strategist, and the founder of Out of Office Media and Creative CEO — two powerhouse brands helping professionals and founders build visibility, authority, and aligned businesses beyond the 9–5.

With 15+ years of experience in corporate operations and a deep passion for storytelling, I’ve worked with over 100 clients — from celebrity entrepreneurs and C-suite executives to service providers, product-based brands, and brick-and-mortar business owners.

But I didn’t start here.
I was laid off from my corporate tech role — and because I’d already been quietly building my personal brand and business behind the scenes, I had something to fall back on. That moment became the spark that changed everything.

Since then, I’ve:

• Grown Creative CEO into a national media brand with consistent revenue and no outside funding

• Launched Out of Office Media, a creative agency helping brands stand out online, IRL, and everywhere in between

• Hosted 250+ sold-out events in Boston, NYC, and Miami — all rooted in real business growth and intentional community

• Helped hundreds of professionals confidently transition from corporate into entrepreneurship with clarity, structure, and strategy

Because success isn’t just about income, it’s about ownership, alignment, and building a life that actually feels like you.

Today, I speak on stages, podcasts, and at private events about entrepreneurship, identity, brand-building, and the future of self-employment. Whether you’re growing a business, navigating a transition, or building your next chapter, I’m here to help you rise with strategy and soul.
