Into her fourth decade of agency life crossing Hong Kong, New York and Singapore, Vanessa continues her inexhaustible quest to find sense and make meaning in an ever-complex, chaotic, changing world for brands, companies and people.

At Weber Shandwick, she works with teams to build and grow some of the agency’s largest and most enduring regional client relationships.

In this distracted era where attention must be constantly earned for impact, she choregraphs the way the agency collaborates and creates its best work at the intersections of culture, creativity, insight, innovation. Championing new directions and incubating ideas for action, she brings the vast array of talent together to deliver work that motivates, moves and matters.

She has helped clients win numerous awards, been active on jury panels and was recognized by The Holmes Report on its 2019 Innovator 25 Asia-Pacific list. She served as PR Jury President for Spikes Asia and on the PR Jury for Cannes in 2021 and 2024. She has been on the PRCA board and was a founding member of Global Women in PR in Singapore.

She is passionate about health equity, women’s issues and the proud mother of two amazing young men.
