Vanessa Vasquez exemplifies the essence of servant leadership, a principle beautifully captured in John C. Maxwell’s words: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” Her journey from the streets of Chicago’s Humboldt Park to becoming a successful executive and mother of two is a testament to her unwavering commitment to community and transformation. Vanessa’s deep understanding of business, paired with her passion for outreach, has empowered countless individuals to break free from the cycles of despair and embrace a future filled with hope and opportunity.
Through her extensive experience in leading IT business operations and her dedication to faith-based initiatives, Vanessa has not only driven exponential growth in the organizations she’s served but also in the lives of those she touches. Her work with Fed Tech Cares, alongside her husband Noah, is a continuation of this legacy—providing students and veterans with the resources and support they need to thrive in science, technology, and entrepreneurship. Vanessa’s leadership is a beacon of light, showing the way for others to follow, and reminding us all of the profound impact one dedicated individual can have on the world.
