Vanessa DeMarinis

Vanessa was born and raised in Tampa. As a child she loved using her creativity in anything from drawing to theatre. She’s always been super competitive and involved in as many extracurricular activities her schedule would allow. During college she worked for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization and was fortunate to travel to Japan, Germany and Puerto Rico throughout her employment.

Vanessa went to the University of South Florida in Tampa and studied psychology. Upon graduation from college, Vanessa embarked on a career in education as a teacher, but quickly learned that wasn’t the direction she wanted to follow for the long term. After a stint in the financial services industry, Vanessa was approached by a friend to learn more about the transportation & logistics industry. She had no idea what the business of moving freight was all about, but accepted the invitation and quickly learned how interesting and fulfilling the industry can be. Vanessa loves the logistics industry because, “it’s competitive and very relationship driven.” She says, “I have made the best connections with customers and colleagues that I still speak to today.”

Prior to joining AGX as Director of National Sales and Recruitment, Vanessa worked with another logistics firm for 15 years. She brings a wealth of industry knowledge and experience to the AGX Team. When not leading her team at work, Vanessa enjoys doing “anything competitive.” She loves playing pickle ball, tennis, bike riding (especially at night through downtown Tampa), throwing the football around, and going to the beach as often as possible. She also enjoys concerts, theater, and sporting events for entertainment.

Vanessa and her daughter share a love for animals and gymnastics. They often go to local farms, zoos and aquariums for fun. Weekends are often spent at the beach building sand castles and the day is never complete until they get the reward of a beautiful Florida sunset!
