Theresa V.

Founder-operator building the systems, teams, and execution companies need to scale

I’m a founder, builder, and operator who has spent the past several years building WORK+SHELTER, a cross-border social enterprise and manufacturing partner based between the U.S. and India.

My work has spanned client leadership, operations, sales, and team leadership across cultures, time zones, and competing priorities. I’m most comfortable in complex, fast-moving, and mission-driven environments where good judgment, follow-through, and strong relationships matter.

I started my career in tech, and over time my path expanded into building businesses and leading across teams, functions, and geographies.

I’m currently in Kellogg’s Executive MBA program and increasingly focused on strategic, operational, and advisory opportunities where I can bring that experience to broader leadership roles.
