Vanessa is driven by community. Her joy truly comes from being thoughtful and delivering a brilliant experience both to customers and her fellow team members. This approach to work and her life is why she was nominated and awarded the Q1 Hydrus Winner. She’s a critical thinker, and fosters such poise and intentional communication in a way that both clients and colleagues cannot help but be drawn into her vibrant energy. She establishes rapport through her caring, energetic and connected work ethic and is why at FloWater, we feel very lucky to have her on our team. From the ground up, she was the sole reason why FloWater now has deployed over 100 Refill Stations in the Oakland Unified School District. Accounts such as these, that highlight her strategic and personal touch is why she is so respected at FloWater.
