“I had the pleasure of reporting to Venessa at Cazoo for over a year. Her mentorship allowed me the autonomy to guide the research practice whilst knowing her guidance was always only a message away. She is a passionate builder of design teams, placing emphasis on bringing together the diversity of thought through inclusive collaboration. Venessa is a huge asset to any team and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”

“As the Head of UX Design, Venessa has great leadership qualities, inspiring her team to consistently strive for excellence and reach their full potential. Venessa's in-depth understanding of the design process and her skilful guidance and expertise in navigating the various stages of product development have been instrumental in my professional growth as a product designer. I have also witness great personal growth under her guidance and mentorship since leaving Cazoo.”

“ have always admired the straight-to-the-point attitude Venessa has. She cuts through the chase and nails the point nobody else is making. On top of that, I always loved how she would advocate for people who are not there - in that meeting, in that conversation, in that meetup. She is courageous and kind - I wish more leaders were displaying the same.”
