Hi, I’m Yonelly Gutierrez, a Senior Project Manager and Career Coach with a passion for empowering women to break into $100K+ project management roles. With over 7 years of experience managing high-impact IT and cybersecurity projects for Fortune 500 companies, I’ve mastered the art of navigating complex challenges, driving results, and fostering team success.
What sets me apart is my personal career journey. I pivoted from a $40K/year role in higher education to earning $135K/year in tech, all within a few short years. Now, I help other women achieve similar transformations through my coaching business, Velvet Vision. My tailored program combines actionable strategies like LinkedIn optimization, resume refreshes, and interview prep to help my clients land life-changing roles.
As someone featured in outlets like The Digital Project Manager and Shoutout HTX, I love sharing insights on career development, personal branding, and project management. Whether mentoring aspiring PMs or tackling multimillion-dollar projects, I’m driven by the belief that success comes from strategy, clarity, and the courage to bet on yourself.
