About

From the bridge of a ship to the boardroom.

Vanya spent over a decade at sea as a Marine Officer (2006–2017), leading multicultural crews on foreign ships across 55+ countries — running navigation, safety and communication in high-risk, time-sensitive operations where hesitation was not an option.

He is also a national-level gold medalist athlete — a background that shaped his obsession with performance psychology and deliberate practice.

Today, he brings that real-world intensity into corporate training. Sessions are experiential and built for behaviour change, not just awareness — the kind of work that sticks when the pressure lands.
