Director, Strategic Initatives
Age+
Denver, Colorado
Vani is an impact‑driven strategist with 20+ years of driving results across sales, healthcare consulting, strategy, product marketing, and project management. She launched her career at Gartner as a healthcare analyst, then accelerated through Storage Technology Corporation’s leadership rotation program, gaining hands‑on command of how complex organizations function. When StorageTek was acquired by Sun Microsystems, she was recruited into the elite Mergers & Acquisitions team—work she continued as Sun integrated into Oracle, helping steer high‑stakes transitions across global teams.
Ready to apply her skills to broader mission‑driven challenges, Vani pivoted into consulting, where she led strategic planning and marketing initiatives for organizations seeking clarity, growth, and stronger market positioning. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, she holds a BBA in Economics from Lamar University and a Master’s in International Management from Thunderbird School of Global Management.
Vani joined AGE+ in September 2022 with a clear mandate: activate her strategic expertise to expand opportunities for older Oregonians to age with dignity, connection, and economic security. She brings a global lens, a bias for action, and a commitment to building systems that work for every community.
