I regularly deliver keynotes, run workshops, webinars or take part in panel discussions at events. I also love an interview so get in touch!

 

I had the opportunity to speak at various company events and conferences all over the globe - from London to Tokyo, via Milan, Paris, Amsterdam and San Salvador.

​

I deliver relevant future consumer + society insights and educational talks that will open the mind of your audience.

​

My delivery style is very relatable and entertaining as I get everyone to learn, think, laugh and be inspired. My goal is to create a safe learning and conversational space where everyone feels comfortable and acknowledged.

TESTIMONIAL

'Vanessa is one of a few people who have captivated me from the moment I first met her. Her energy, thought process and ways of engaging her audience are incredible. We first met when Vanessa was giving a presentation at Bloomberg, and from that moment on l knew that I needed her skills to support our business. We have worked on numerous projects together and every time she delivers to the highest levels. Vanessa will challenge you and your business to think better and support you to deliver change with a positive mindset. She will enable you to deliver your message in the most unique way and that’s part of what makes her and Hi Fifteen stand out from the crowd.'
