Vanessa Coleman (Green)

Co-Founder of Saha Global

Vanessa co-founded Saha Global following her MIT graduate work on household water treatment in northern Ghana. Her thesis work convinced her that the key to universal clean water access was sustainable. This belief was shared across the Saha founding team and the organization was born. Today, Vanessa is co-founder and CEO of FINsix, an advanced power electronics company that enables smaller, lighter power solutions for consumer devices. Prior to her work with FINsix, Vanessa was a manager at TECOM Investments in Dubai, UAE and a consultant with the Monitor Group in New York, NY. In 2014 FINsix was selected as an Inc 35 Under 35 company. Previously, Vanessa won MIT’s Patrick E. McGovern Entrepreneurship Award, and was selected as a Boston Business Journal Innovation All-Stars Rising Star and Forbes 30-under-30 in Energy. Vanessa holds a M.Eng. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from MIT, a MBA from MIT Sloan and a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Dartmouth College.
