VORNICA® is the premier women’s career advancement and leadership development company in Europe.
At VORNICA®, we are on a mission to triple the number of women CEOs in Europe by 2030. We strive to elevate more smart, talented, and ambitious women into the C-Suite and global leadership. In doing so, we contribute to the broader transformation of how we lead our lives, teams, organizations, countries, and the world - one wise, empowered woman leader at a time.
VORNICA® was founded in May 2010 in Prague, Czech Republic, by Cristina Muntean. Cristina is a native Romanian and former business journalist who turned people and organization developer.
VORNICA® builds on the legacy of Media Education CEE, focusing on strategic communications, personal branding, reputation management, and leadership and organization development. The company was rebranded and repositioned in May 2022.
Why are we on a mission to triple the number of women CEOs in Europe by 2030 and elevate more smart, talented, and ambitious women into the C-Suite and global leadership?
Because we are convinced that the way we lead our lives, teams, organizations, countries, and the world today needs deep transformation.
We strive to revisit how we lead ourselves, our people, our organizations, and our countries, so we can birth a new type of leadership that honors the feminine and fosters a new way of doing business that stops the devastation of our planet and is more sustainable in the long term, nurturing, and equitably generous to everyone.
Our vision is for Europe to become a leading global example of how to turn diversity into legacy, so we can live in peace and emerge as a cradle of systemic innovations for companies and communities alike.
By nurturing people and resources we generate value for everyone in our business ecosystems.
We also believe that becoming a woman CEO is not a purpose in itself, but a way to achieve two greater purposes: deep personal transformation on the journey to the top, and the ability to experience and deliver greater impact for our business ecosystems, communities, and society at large.
We know that the future of our planet is co-created. We believe in and we honor co-creation.
This is why we partner with men, at home and in leadership, so we can co-create a better world together.
To do that, we women need to take full responsibility for our destiny. We need to bring our full mental and emotional presence, our courage, wisdom, and our strategic approach to others and to ourselves to the table.
We know that by supporting wise women leaders to emerge and shine, we contribute to the broader, deeper transformation of our region and the way we lead our lives, teams, organizations, countries, and the world - one wise, empowered woman leader at a time.
And that’s a mission worth following.
