Vanessa’s work has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, the Huffington Post and Glamour magazine. Her Tedx talk “How To Lean In Without Burning Out” has over 125,000 views.

After spending close to a decade working in finance on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, Vanessa felt that she had climbed to the top of the ladder only to realize it was the wrong ladder! Her personal transformation, subsequent research and work have led to thousands of leaders creating success in an easier way. Vanessa has spoken at AirBnb, Bain & Co, Castlight Health, Charles Schwab, Cisco, Dreamforce, Emerging Women, Flextronics, Goldman Sachs, Google, LinkedIn, Mattel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, PA Conference for Women, PG&E, PwC, Salesforce, SCI Women’s Conference, StubHub!, Tedx, The North Face, The Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford MSx Women Leaders, ThoughtSpot2018, Uber, Watermark Conference for Women, WomanCon, Women in Private Equity and many other organizations. Vanessa received her MBA from Stanford University and her BA in Economics from Columbia University where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Summa Cum Laude. Loder is certified as an Executive Coach by the Hendricks Institute and trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) by Carl Buchheit at NLP Marin.
