On meeting her for the first time, one would think she was one of the students of the progressive learning institution in Makati called iAcademy. But her young, charming looks and her demure yet confident demeanor would tell you that this lady wears a much larger hat than most. Vanessa Tanco is the president and chief executive of iAcademy. She is also the chief operating officer of another, much larger and longer established educational institution-- the Philippine Women’s University.
