Vanessa Bruce
Head of Innovation & Strategic Projects @ Boston Legacy FC
About
Hi, I'm Vanessa. I thrive in the early days, the messy, exciting work of building something from nothing, but I know how to carry that founder mentality into growing and established organizations, helping them move faster, think bigger, and build with purpose.I've always believed that the best businesses don't just generate revenue, they create opportunity. That belief has shaped everything I've built, from co-founding and selling Dough to joining Boston's NWSL team, Boston Legacy FC, as hire #1.That work has taken me to stages at MIT Sloan, AmericasMart, Adobe, and the City of Boston, speaking on entrepreneurship, commerce, and building businesses that make an impact. The work has also caught the attention of Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bustle, and Business Insider.
