Hello Elpha community! I'm Vanessa Santos, and am the Co-CEO & Partner of #WeAllGrow Latina, the first and largest media and community platform for impactful Latinas and beyond. I’m also the founder of my own strategic advisory, started just 6 months ago, supporting BIPOC women to show up authentically and become sought-after thought leaders in their personal and professional endeavors. I kicked off my career in fashion, pivoted to startups and publishing and then went into the FinTech space. Taking a sharp left turn and leaving FinTech was the biggest risk of my life but because it was mission-oriented and timed right, it also became the most rewarding experience.

I’m passionate about the intersection of technology, investing, and social impact, specifically, supporting communities of color. I had the pleasure of contributing to this wonderful article and it's how I discovered elpha! https://elpha.com/resources/salary-negotiation-tips
