About Vanessa
Enthusiastic individual with two very different and complementary successful career paths. First – managed large HR & Organizational strategy, transformation, and talent management projects for global 2000 companies. Then – demonstrated commitment and passion to create, grow and manage a distribution business in sports & innovative products for swimming pools during more than 10 years in Southeast Asia. I relocated to Lausanne mid-2021 and I am looking forward to supporting start-ups and well-established companies in their business and organizational efficiency and growth.
