Vicki is currently focused on the distribution of RACE TO NOWHERE while also in the early stages of development on her next documentary and serving as an advisor on several other films. Previously, Vicki worked as a corporate attorney on Wall Street and on the business side at Goldman Sachs. Clients represented a wide range of industries including the media business.
