Vanessa Coppes

CEO and Editor-in-Chief
Bella Magazine

Vanessa Coppes believes women are multi-faceted. Like many women, Coppes struggled with periods of insecurity + depression which eventually motivated her to reinvent her business to one that would serve her lifestyle. Coppes studied Design, Psychology and Education. Writing however, has always been her outlet to internalize lessons, to teach and to connect with others. A seeker and a student of life, since 2009 she has been committed to sharing with and teaching others what she has learned through her experiences on her online platforms. A certified Digital Media strategist and Digital Marketer, Coppes is also the author of “5 Steps to Fabulous: Choices for Living Beautifully, Inside and Out!” and “Social Media Strategies for Small Businesses: A Guide for Solo-Entrepreneurs.” In August of 2019, she acquired the BELLA brand and launched BELLA Media + Co. which publishes the national newsstand and subscription lifestyle publication, BELLA Magazine. This new venture is a diversity driven, multimedia company that focuses on inclusion and the empowerment of women and men in the areas of fashion, beauty, travel, entertainment, business, cuisine, philanthropy and more. It also merges the work she’s done for the past 8 years as the Co-Founder of ETTWomen and the ETTWomen Foundation, both organizations rooted on the advancement of women through entrepreneurship.

Coppes lives in New Jersey with her husband Joshua, their two sons Tomás and Samuel, their chihuahua Pepe and silly pitbull rescue, Blue.
