AWARDS & FEATURED IN
Hello, I’m Vanessa.
☾ Capricorn ☼ Sagittarius ↑ Sagittarius + Manifesting Generator 5/1
I was laid off from my corporate career (of 15 years)—but I had a business to fall back on. That moment wasn’t an ending; it was the beginning of something bigger. I built Creative CEO, a media company redefining success for corporate women by helping them build personal brands, businesses, and wealth beyond the 9-5.
As a first-generation daughter of immigrants and a 3x award-winning Latina entrepreneur, I’ve navigated the realities of business without a roadmap. My work has been recognized by Forbes (2025), Boston Business Journal’s "40 Under 40," El Mundo Boston’s "30 Under 30," and the League of United Latin American Citizens.
I’ve shared my story in the award-winning documentary Still Working 9 to 5, alongside icons like Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Rita Moreno, discussing the evolution of gender inequality in the workplace.
Despite being a college dropout with dyslexia, I launched my first company at 15 and have since built successful businesses, proving that unconventional paths can lead to extraordinary success.
