Podcast Host, Unthinkable | Author, Speaker, Tinkerer
I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel.
It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities.
I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently.
Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView.
My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)

With over 17 years of experience in the Recruitment Industry, where I predominantly honed my skills in the Tech space, I have decided to give back to this amazing community. Before embarking on a career in recruitment, I taught school children in London, operated a ski chairlift in the USA, and taught scuba diving in Southeast Asia & E Africa.
In 2019, I launched my Sourcing Training Business, and have been constantly challenged and fulfilled. I am passionate about elevating the standard of sourcing globally, with a key focus on Africa. Due to the massive demand for my training, I launched my Online Academy in 2023. My dream is to train Recruiters and Talent Sourcers to find Talent more effectively and efficiently - check it out here: https://academy.vanessaraath.com/
I enjoy sharing my expertise in talent sourcing, particularly diversity sourcing, through keynote presentations at international conferences. When I'm not working, you can find me having a vegetarian braai with family and friends in the bush or at the beach.
I am also a respected Speaker in the HR/Talent Sourcing space and have delivered Keynotes across 4 continents - Africa, Australia, Europe and the USA. My most recent presentations were for Sourcing Summit, The Recruitment Network, SourceCon, The Executive Research Association, HRTX Recruiting Daily, TalentPRO, TalentNET, Talent42, DevConf, Recruiters Unite to name a few...
I am already booked to deliver presentations in Spain, Turkey and Colombia in 2024 which I am looking forward to. Get in touch with me if you would like me to present at your next Event.
