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.

During my studies at the Gestalt Institute of Scandinavia (GIS), I developed a profound understanding of Gestalt therapy. I became firmly convinced of the transformative impact that Gestalt principles can have when applied to the development of leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations. I am deeply convinced that the essence of leadership is rooted in who we are as individuals; in other words, the foundation of our leadership abilities lies in our personal growth.

After completing my studies at GIS, I decided to further my education with the exceptional trainers Kia Karrebæk and Jesper Bobjerg at Connective. This opportunity allowed me to deepen my personal development as an authentic leader and coach while expanding my skills in coaching and mentoring. I undertook two intensive courses: Authentic Leadership and Coaching, and Facilitation.
