Meet Vanessa Farino | Your Host
Vanessa Farino is a public speaker, community leader, and business strategist. She’s an award-winning multi-passionate Latina entrepreneur named by Boston Business Journal's “40 under 40” and El Mundo Boston's “30 under 30”. She was featured in the documentary "Still Working 9 to 5" based on the movie "Working 9 to 5." The film examines the 40-year evolution of gender inequality and discrimination in the workplace since the 1980s.
Vanessa grew up around entrepreneurs and started her first company at 15. She then went on to create 5 more companies, while holding a corporate career working directly with C-Suite Executives in Boston at startup companies for over a decade.
Vanessa’s purpose is to disrupt the traditional way of thinking and promote the belief that we’re all creative, ever-evolving humans. Her business is founded upon a human-first approach that has greatly impacted the way her clients operate their businesses. She’s dedicated to igniting female founders to transform their businesses to create generational wealth and impact in their communities.
Vanessa is a public speaker and has spoken on many educational stages, such as Bunker Hill Community College, Bentley University, Northern Essex Community College, University of Massachusetts, and The Academy at Penguin Hall.
She is also the podcast host at Creative Human, where she opens up the conversation to delve into the wonderful, yet often challenging world of creativity. She explores the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and what it takes to create and maintain success while remaining true to our "we rise by lifting others" mentality.
