THE FOUNDERS OF SOSIAS

Vanessa Heegaard (Nessy) and Giselle Delgado (Gigi) have worked from a very young age, both for other companies and for themselves, uniquely understanding the challenges and opportunities that women experience in the market.

Passionate about sharing all their knowledge, they created SOSIAS to provide a valuable service to other entrepreneurial women who want to sell their products or services online and grow their businesses.

QUEEN BEE

Vanessa "Nessy" is the founder and CEO of SOSIAS. She currently lives in Bogotá, Colombia, and combines her experience in marketing, business, and entrepreneurship with a deep passion for empowering other women. With over 20 years of experience in the United States and Colombia, she has led projects across multiple industries and demonstrated her ability to create innovative strategies, grow businesses, and connect communities. Her focus has always been clear: to use her knowledge to build spaces where women can grow together, support each other, and shine. Beyond her role as CEO, Vanessa is a mother of two and knows firsthand what it means to balance professional dreams with family life. That's why SOSIAS was born not only as a business venture but also as an extension of her personal purpose: to create a community where well-being, collaboration, and growth are at the heart of everything. Today, in addition to leading SOSIAS, she works on brand development, social media, and marketing strategies for companies around the world. Their energy, warmth, and strategic vision are the driving force behind this ever-growing community.

And why bees?

TearsofRa_BAM.jpeg

Nessy & Gigi chose bees as the symbol of SOSIAS because of their cultural significance and symbolism in history.

Bees are a symbol of teamwork and cooperation, representing a community working for the common good. Each bee plays an important role in the hive, providing for the entire community. Furthermore, bees are a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and are believed to attract good luck and success in business.

Bees are a symbol of new beginnings, hard work, and wisdom, making them a perfect image to represent the SOSIAS entrepreneurs who work hard to build their businesses and achieve their goals.

They chose the name "SOSIAS" for their company because they wanted to create a direct connection with the concept of "sorority" and "sisterhood." By incorporating the "S" in "SOSIAS," they reinforced the idea that women support and empower each other in the business world, regardless of their differences.
