What’s success worth if you lose yourself along the way?
I’m Bianca Gfrei — a 2x VC-backed CEO turned executive coach, somatic expert, and trusted advisor to founders, CEOs, and investors. I help high-performing leaders master emotional regulation, nervous system resilience, and conscious leadership so they can build and scale without losing themselves.
I’ve walked the path myself: raising millions in venture capital, scaling health-tech startups across Europe, and living the high-pressure founder life. I know both the thrill of success and the hidden cost it takes on the mind, body, and relationships.
That’s why I do this work: because the future we’re building depends on leaders who are not just successful, but deeply human, grounded, and alive.
“Working with Bianca is for me so incredible, because she doesn't only understand the life of a founder, but especially the life of a female founder. This combination of knowing the stressful environment that puts many of us into burn out, but also understanding the pressure of being a woman in this specific environment makes the difference. Bianca doesn't only have these experiences, she leverages them to support other founders. She utilizes her experiences and combines them with the expertise of body and mind work.”
— Kosima Kovar, CEO of Viora, 2x Forbes30u3
The Insight That Changed Everything
If you don’t master your emotions, they will lead your decisions, your leadership, your long-term wellbeing – and eventually your life.
Behind every funding round, pitch deck, or board meeting, there’s a human nervous system under pressure. Founders and leaders are celebrated for results — but silently, many operate in survival mode: sleepless nights, constant stress, emotional overwhelm, and the creeping fear of collapse.
This is not just a personal issue — it’s systemic. When leaders burn out, entire teams, companies, and innovations suffer.
I believe emotional mastery and nervous system resilience are not “soft skills.” They are 21st-century leadership essentials — the foundation for healthy companies and a sustainable future of business.
The Real Success Starts Within
Building a business is not just about strategy.
It’s about your capacity to stay regulated in chaos. To process what others suppress. To lead, not from urgency, but from truth, clarity, and alignment.
This is the new paradigm of leadership.
And it’s what I now help others embody.
Today, I work with high-performing founders, CEOs, and visionary leaders to:
Understand and regulate their nervous system
Master their emotional world
Lead from deep alignment not survival
Through somatic intelligence, trauma-informed coaching, and emotional mastery, I help you access the clarity, resilience, and embodied power to lead in the way the future demands.
Because the next generation of leadership isn’t built on burnout. It’s built on wholeness.
Helping Leaders Build Thriving Businesses Without Losing Themselves
Today, I guide founders, CEOs, and high-impact leaders through the inner work that no one talks about but everyone needs.
My Mission
To guide founders and leaders in mastering their emotions, navigating high-pressure environments, and building businesses that thrive – without sacrificing their well-being, authenticity, or joy.
My Vision
A world where leadership is no longer fueled by burnout, overwork, and emotional suppression—but by self-awareness, resilience, and deep alignment. Where entrepreneurs create and lead from a place of clarity, presence, and true inner power.
Because when your Being comes alive, your Doing thrives.
My Expertise
I bring a rare combination of lived founder experience and deep somatic and therapeutic training.
My approach integrates:
Somatic Wisdom — unlocking the intelligence of the body and nervous system to release stress, trauma, and emotional imprints.
Emotional Mastery — decoding the hidden messages of emotions and transforming reactivity into clarity, power, and presence.
Systemic Executive & Leadership Coaching — working with the bigger picture: the dynamics in teams, partnerships, and organizations that shape leadership.
This multidimensional lens bridges science, psychology, and somatics — tailored to the realities of leadership under pressure.
You’ve Built and Led. Now It’s Time to Come Back to You.
If you’re a founder, CEO, or leader navigating growth, complexity, or pressure — this is the space where you come back to yourself, while building what you’re here to build.
