With over 15 years in client services, Vanessa leads S50’s consumer division with an infectious enthusiasm for building genuine partnerships and making amazing things happen together. She’s the bridge between creative, strategy, UX, and technology teams, bringing everyone together to create work that doesn’t just win awards but actually makes a real difference (enjoying every minute of it!).

Vanessa has worked across everything from consumer brands and CPG to health tech and non-profits, which means she’s seen it all and loves solving puzzles no matter where they come from. But here’s where it really started: as part of the startup team at KAYAK, where she caught what she calls “the itch for innovation and unique problem solving.” That entrepreneurial energy has been her North Star ever since.

At S50, Vanessa makes sure clients get the best thinking paired with work that actually works. She leads with transparency and empowerment, genuinely invested in seeing her team grow and her clients succeed, because that’s when the magic happens.

Beyond her agency work, Vanessa serves on the Board at The Kennedy Collective, empowering children and adults with disabilities to reach their full potential.

She brings big-picture vision and hands-on execution to everything she touches, always with that collaborative, client-first spirit that makes S50 special.
