Because legacy companies don’t build themselves or scale by accident
The Vesta Club is where fast-growing companies turn leadership potential into performance that drives real business results. We are here to change how startups and scaleups develop their leaders, with training built for pace, pressure, and embedded for long-term impact.
​
Leadership isn’t about status. It’s about influence, clarity, and momentum.
​
Our programs are grounded in proven frameworks like The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team and Radical Candor, giving founders, executives, and emerging leaders the tools to scale themselves as fast as their companies and build aligned, accountable, high-performing teams from the inside out.
​​
Our Vision
To shape a generation of bold, people-centred, and resilient leaders who drive innovation, scale legendary companies, and elevate the global startup and scaleup ecosystem — alongside the investors and partners who back them.
Our Mission
The Vesta Club exists to unlock the full potential of startup and scaleup leaders. We equip founders, executives, and senior leaders with the clarity, confidence, and skills to lead at pace and scale with intention.
​
Our programs include practical workshops, ongoing coaching programs, and leadership due diligence, helping both leaders and investors assess, align, and scale with purpose. Built for the realities of high-growth companies, we help leadership teams drive performance, align fast, and build lasting impact.
Our
Guiding Ethos
Whether you’re leading a team or backing one, these three principles guide everything we do.
Lead with Vision. Inspire with Authenticity.
​
The most respected leaders don’t just drive results — they energise people around a shared purpose. We help you lead with clarity and conviction, so your authentic leadership style becomes a catalyst for alignment, momentum, and trust.
​
Grow the Leader. Accelerate the Impact.
​
There’s no single playbook for leadership at scale. That’s why our programs focus on adaptive, real-world strategies tailored to your journey, helping you lead through complexity, pivot with confidence, and drive performance. And for those investing in leadership, this work lays the foundation for organisational clarity, speed, and long-term success.
​
Do the Work That Matters.
​
Leadership at this level isn’t about doing everything, but it is about doing the right things. We help you lead with purpose, make the hard calls, and model the standards you expect from your team. It’s about raising the bar, not just for others, but for yourself.
