Proactive, creative and quietly unstoppable, Vanessa brings a mix of structure and soul to MAYDAY’s operations. Her leadership philosophy is simple: listen first, never assume. She believes the best ideas often come from unexpected places and that genuine support drives more creativity and loyalty than control ever could.

From running her own theatre company and being a finalist at the Beverly Hills Film Festival to leading operations in recruitment, Vanessa’s career has always centred on understanding people and helping them thrive. She’s known for rolling up her sleeves, solving problems fast and keeping the wheels turning with precision, humour and a good coffee in hand.

When she’s not keeping MAYDAY moving, you’ll find her at an art fair, in her veggie patch or perfecting her archery skills - ready for whatever (or whoever) comes next.
