We are thrilled to announce that Vee R., Talent Acquisition Manager at STACK Infrastructure, joins the foundation as an ambassador! Vee began her career in the IT field during the 11th grade. Since then, she has evolved and is passionately committed to being a visionary advocate for women, an exceptional servant leader, and a major influencer.   In 2009, she co­‐founded an online community called TheGirlfriendGroup (TGG), a global business/social community whose mission statement was ‘’Women helping women in all aspects of life.’’ TGG began as a tribute to Vee’s late sister Valerie Patterson. They grew TGG to over 3,500 members before it was closed in 2015.   In 2010, Vee parlayed her 20 years of experience into her very first entrepreneurial venture and founded V.R. Maddox Consulting, which was a consultancy that offered recruiting & staffing, professional development, and IT Training. Shortly thereafter, V.R. Maddox Consulting became a Certified Virginia SWAM Business (Small, Women & Minority Owned). The business was affected by COVID and was recently re-branded and re-launched as The VList Brand, Inc.    Vee’s flagship program is the #GetHired Employment Community on Facebook. She’s run the community for 13 years and will continue to offer it as a free service to job seekers. Her newest community effort is called #GirlfriendsGolf which is quickly becoming the most the sought after group to join for women in the DMV!   As a volunteer, Vee has served as a commissioner of the Economic Development Commission and the Diversity Commission. In 2017, Vee was elected as the first Black Woman in history to sit on the Leesburg Town Council of Leesburg VA.   Vee is an advisor to several non-­profits and small businesses locally and around the country. She is currently leading her fifth think-tank called #BlackWallStreet: Loudoun. In addition, she’s completing her first book/memoir entitled, ‘’The Politics of Nice: How a Catholic School Girl Navigated the Halls of Power.’’   Vee lives by the personal philosophy of collaborating and remaining open-minded. She believes in and mentors several young, professional women. She enjoys working with smart, talented, innovative, and forward-thinking people. Welcome, Vee! We’re so excited you’ve joined the Nomad Futurist Foundation family! . #nomadfuturistfoundation #education #youngergeneration #neverstoplearning #datacenterindustry #digitalinfrastructure #technology #nomadfuturistfamily #nomadfuturistacademy #thefutureisnow #hellotomorrow #NomadFuturist #nomadfuturistAmbassador #datacenterindustry #datacenter #technologysector #digitalinfrastructure #missioncritical #iamthefuture #VeeRichardson #VanessaRichardson #womenintech #blackwomenpower #volunteer #volunteering #STACKInfrastructure
