Vanessa Mai oversees the data management and planning for the thousands of commercial real estate projects that JPMorgan Chase lends on each year. She moves mountains of data points into actionable insights for JPMorgan Chase's sales, marketing credit and finance teams, influencing the business decisions, budgeting and resource allocation for its real estate holdings. As more of the day-to-day work of CRE occurs digitally, data needs to be tracked and protected, and the ability to leverage and analyze data is becoming a competitive advantage. Mai has overcome a double hurdle in her career path: finding success in the male-dominated worlds of both tech and CRE.
Vanessa credits her mother as her role model and resilience coach, and brings that same energy to her team: one of inclusion, excellence, and learning through challenge. Whether advocating for women, building data culture, or breaking industry molds, Vanessa is shaping the future of CRE—one insight at a time.
