In her previous roles at the Government of Canada, Vanessa’s anticipatory thinking and strong problem-solving skills led her to develop her team’s first privacy policy. During her time at the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, she also contributed in providing recommendations on legislative amendments within Canada’s bankruptcy and insolvency framework.

Committed to combining legal rigor with strong business acumen, Vanessa is particularly interested in corporate law and shaping the business landscape.
