Holding a master’s degree in Engineering and International Business, she has managed large-scale funding initiatives for NGOs and development banks, leading projects that serve governments and institutions worldwide. Yet, it was her role as a mother and a yoga teacher that sparked a deeper inquiry: how can we transform leadership, business, and education to better serve humanity? Vanina’s work champions innovative models of managing people and resources, blending wisdom and structure to empower communities. As the founder of educational platforms — connecting women across generations — she remains committed to creating grounded, viable solutions that reshape the way we live, learn, and lead.
