Vanessa Olt — Business Consultant for
Creative Growth & Therapy for your Finances

Unsure if your numbers align with your gut feelings?

🌀

Vanessa Olt is a Berlin-based Business Consultant and a trusted voice in the creative industry. Since 2018, she has worked with established design studios such as Dinamo Typefaces and HelloMe to help creative leaders achieve financial clarity and a solid operational basis.

Her journey began in fashion and retail before she transitioned into international business administration, giving her a unique, empathetic perspective on the creative world as well as a systematic approach that is the foundation of her work today.

Vanessa's approach is built on co-creation and connection: She helps clients use data to support their decisions, not just their gut feelings, while holding space for the emotions and processes that arise with financial topics. Some clients also call this 'Therapy for your Finances'.

Her empathetic, hands-on guidance has made her a popular speaker at events like the Forward Festival.
