My name is Vilve Vene. For over 25 years I have been building successful companies and teams. At present, I empower new leaders and their teams with my lifelong experience and knowledge.

I’m currently available for consulting engagements.

  • "A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."

    Lao Tzu

After graduating with a degree in applied mathematics, I joined a small team of entrepreneurs who were determined to build the most technologically advanced bank in the region. Over 10 years I led the development of the bank’s core banking software, growing the team from 10 developers to 300 over the course of time.

In 2002 I co-founded my first technology company, where I acted as CEO for nearly two decades. In 2021 we celebrated a successful exit.

I took on my next big adventure in 2019 with an aim to revolutionise core banking.

In summer 2022, I took a decision to follow my long sustained interest which had grown into a passion and started my studies in Gestalt therapy and practice with a focus on executive leadership and successful team building. 

For founders, CEO-s and operational managers

I help you to make your dreams come true via personal growth and reaching your full potential as a leader. I will be acting as your advisor, using my past experience in the most meaningful way to help you navigate your career.


For women in STEM

I advise and encourage women to start their own companies and build their successful career paths in male dominated industries.


For teams

I help to unleash your team’s full potential and stretch beyond their current abilities using my experience in building exceptionally capable teams.

Today, I am advising and coaching using my lifelong experience as a founder and business executive. I am consulting organisations on several topics related to managing their growth ranging from fundraising related topics to managing their growth and building the right company culture.

I currently study in Gestalt Institute of Scandinavia and work towards getting certificated as a Gestalt organisational consultant and coach to fully apply the power of Gestalt therapy in guiding leaders and teams on their journey.

It all begins with an idea
