Dr. Virpi Tervonen, CEC's Linkedin Analytics

Founder life is relentless. Exhilarating. And far lonelier than it looks from the outside. Most Founder CEOs are brilliant, yet bottlenecked — mentally and operationally overloaded. Behind the growth, the pressure builds: endless decisions, hidden doubts, and little true perspective. I help them figure out what to do next, handle tough situations, and scale without working themselves into the ground. I’ve lived this world for over two decades: founding four ventures and coaching Founder CEOs for more than ten years. My science background taught me rigour. Strategic thinking and positive psychology keep me future-focused. Coaching certifications give me practical frameworks. Two decades in Singapore added global perspective. Nordic directness keeps it practical. The result? An approach that’s analytical and deeply human. ✅ I help Founder CEOs win three battles: 1️⃣ Mental overload — dissolving root causes of anxiety, frustration, and stress. Updating the mental OS and rewiring the brain for calm, creativity, and resilience. “Best training in my 37 working years.” • “I achieve more with a calm, clear mind.” Read more 👉 https://mentalfitnessprogramme.com 2️⃣ Leadership challenges — renewing identity and role, finding clarity fast, and building decision-making momentum. “My business went from $1M to $5M.” • “I tripled my business.” Read more: 👉 https://realrelevantresults.com/founder-ceo-coaching 3️⃣ Feeling disconnected — carrying the weight of a business in isolation. Community restores perspective, connection, and belonging through peer leverage. “Found my tribe.” • “This is what I’ve been seeking.” Read more: 👉 https://thefounderstrust.com ✨ In short: Founder CEOs hire me to renew their mind, role, and leverage — so their business (and life) can scale without breaking them. I champion visionary founders who have built their businesses from the ground without investor backup. If that’s you, let’s connect! I’d love to hear how you’re navigating your journey.
