About Vanessa Ribreau
I'm Vanessa, born and bred in the picturesque landscapes of France—think vineyards, not just Eiffel Tower. I swapped wine and cheese for code and innovation, diving headfirst into the tech world. For over 13 years, I navigated the turbulent yet exhilarating waters of this industry, climbing up the ranks to serve as a Chief People Officer. Along the way, I've picked up invaluable insights into leadership, culture, and the art of thriving amidst chaos.
Now, I've traded my corporate title for something that's closer to my heart: Founder and CEO of V&CO. Here, I channel my years of expertise into coaching and consulting, offering a unique blend of psychological insight and hard-earned business acumen. It's my way of paying forward what I've learned, packaged with real, actionable strategies.
Beyond the business attire, I'm a proud mom of two high-energy boys who constantly remind me of what's really important in life. When I'm not donning my mom or CEO hat, you'll likely find me in meditation (a practice I grudgingly began but now can't live without), lifting weights in a Crossfit box, or savoring a glass of fine wine.
