Short bio

Vanessa Belleau is the dynamic founder of High Fifteen Ltd, a culture and inclusion consultancy that has impacted over 30,000 employees and leaders through powerful workshops, culture strategy, and executive coaching. With 18+ years of experience and a client list spanning global brands - such as LVMH, Nestlé, CBRE, Nike, and more - charities and scale-ups, Vanessa is known for helping teams unlock high performance by putting people and purpose at the heart of business without compromising the bottom line.

She is a trusted advisor to executive teams and boards looking to create cultures where everyone can thrive. But her magic doesn’t stop in the boardroom.

Vanessa is also the soulful creative behind her art studio, where she paints emotions into vibrant, story-rich pieces that explore identity, resilience and joy. Her studio has become a space for self-expression, reflection, and playful experimentation - with her sassy dog, Purple, as head critic.

Whether she’s leading deep transformation work or painting a canvas full of wonderful shapes and motifs, Vanessa brings bold energy, compassion and a splash of colour to everything she touches.
