Stop defaulting to full-time project managers for short-term work.
It doesn’t add up.
Hiring alone can take 1–2 months. Onboarding? Add a few more weeks. By the time someone is fully ramped, your project is already nearing the finish line. And then what?
You’re left with a senior salary… but no clear need for the role.
It’s an expensive cycle: hire → ramp → underutilize → repeat
There’s a smarter approach.
Fractional project and operations support can step in quickly, often within days, not months. You get someone who:
-
knows how to plug into teams fast
-
has seen similar challenges before
-
delivers impact without a long runway
And when the work is done, so is the engagement. No long-term overhead. No difficult transitions. No wasted budget.
I'm Vanessa 👋🏻
I’m a Project Management Leader with over a decade of experience bringing creative projects to life - across industries as diverse as music, non-profit, and startups in the design space. My journey has taken me on many paths marketing, product management, agency, and production, but one thing has always been constant - my operations and project management expertise. Each role has taught me how to make big ideas happen, keep teams motivated, and (hopefully!) make work a little more fun along the way.
🎸 I started in the music industry, where I learned the art of managing chaos (and rockstars). I’ve also led marketing projects as a marketing manager, giving me a knack for connecting the dots between strategy and creativity. Along the way, I even wrote (and had published) a book —because why not add “author” to the resume? And as an Executive Producer for the Geeks & Beats podcast, I got to blend my passion for storytelling with my love of all things music, pop culture, and tech.
📚 With a background in Print Journalism, Business Marketing, and Marketing Strategy, I’m a bit of a hybrid - part strategist, part creative, and always ready to dive into something new.
Whether I’m leading a team through a complex project, tackling a new marketing campaign, or just brainstorming the next big idea, I’m all about finding ways to work smarter and make an impact.
