Vanessa Wallace (Savage x Fenty) | Make Your Own Rules to Express Your Style

The CMO Podcast

We kick off Women's History Month with a guest who has championed inclusivity, on and off the courts. Vanessa Wallace, a former NCAA basketball star for the University of Texas Lady Longhorns, and now the Chief Marketing Officer of Savage X Fenty, the intimates, loungewear and sportswear brand founded by Rihanna in 2018.

Headquartered in El Segundo, Ca., Savage X Fenty celebrates fearlessness, confidence and inclusivity. Rihanna launched the brand seven years leveraging her Instagram account; the brand took off quickly and has not slowed down. Savage X Fenty was valued at about $1 billion last year; Rihanna owns the brand along with a group of investors that includes LVMH and the TechStyle Fashion Group.

Vanessa joined Nike a few years after leaving the University of Texas, and held 10 different positions at Nike over the course of 19 years–including Head of Brand Marketing before she left in 2024 to join Savage X Fenty. Tune in for a conversation with a CMO who loves her job–almost as much as she loves her puppy Kobe.
