Vanessa is actively seeking board positions and advisory roles where she can apply her extensive experience in technology/cybersecurity, as well as her passion for sustainability that positively impacts the broader population, especially underserved communities. She is uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate the complex challenges of protecting digital assets while embracing environmentally responsible practices.

“Vanessa has been an incredibly valuable member of our Board of Directors since we formed the company. I saw her combination of cyber expertise, business acumen, and people skills first hand at DocuSign—and at Presidio she has added tremendous value that extends to channel and product strategy, budgets, and the team. She's become a personal sounding board for me on important topics, provides meaningful introductions, and has coached me as I run the business. I'm very grateful she agreed to join our Board of Directors.”
