Meet Our Mentors: Vanessa Grose
Vanessa Grose
Vice President, Cloud Center of Excellence, Global Cloud Practice, Kyndryl
I am a go-to-market strategy executive with extensive experience building and leading organizations that deliver transformational technology solutions to enterprises. My success is powered by a people-centric approach to leadership — plus lots of math.
“I believe deeply in supporting people on the path to achieving their dreams.”
As a mentor, I excel at…
- Leadership development
- New people manager support
- Career transitions (private sector and nonprofit)
- Sales and go-to-market strategy
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Technology innovation
- Just-in-time situational coaching
When I have free time, I…
sing in a choir; music brings me joy!
The best career decision I’ve made was…
chasing stretch opportunities where I can learn and grow. Bonus points if it’s a little scary!
My favorite book is…
How can anyone pick just one?! For leadership, I’ll narrow it down to two books: Radical Candor by Kim Malone Scott and Love as a Business Strategy by Mohammad Anwar.
