ALIVENESS

Deep fulfillment doesn't come from doing more but from Being more.

From a return to your authentic self, your truth and your aliveness.

You've mastered performance.

And yet, you feel something is missing.

We have spent decades learning how to build successful lives. Very few of us have learned how to build lives that feel deeply alive.

About Bianca Gfrei

I've walked the path of Unbecoming – and today I guide it

I'm Bianca.

For nearly a decade, I led venture-backed technology companies across Europe and the US, built high-performing teams, and was featured in publications including Forbes and TechCrunch.

Yet the greatest challenge of my career wasn't scaling companies.

It was learning how to stop abandoning myself.

To remember who I was before fear, conditioning, and survival shaped who I believed I had to become.

That journey changed my life.

Today, it has become my life's work.

I explore one fundamental question:

What emotional capacities must we develop to live freely?

Through speaking, writing, education and transformational experiences, I help leaders move beyond survival and into emotional freedom and ultimately, a life of greater inner freedom, sovereignty, and aliveness.

Every next level of leadership asks for a deeper level of self.

We spend years learning how to build companies. Very few of us learn how to build ourselves.

Leadership is ultimately an inside-out game.

The depth of our leadership will never exceed the depth of our self-awareness.

The future of leadership isn't built on more performance.

It's built on greater emotional capacity.

Because emotional freedom is the foundation of extraordinary leadership, meaningful success, and a deeply alive life.

Real Transformational journeys

What changes when leaders stop living from survival

Thomas had built a successful scale-up tech company. From the outside, everything looked right.

Internally, leadership had become driven by pressure, hypervigilance, and constant self-demand.

Through deep emotional work, something fundamental shifted.

He became a leader no longer organized around survival but connected with this truth.

Today, his leadership is marked by greater clarity, presence, trust, and emotional capacity.

Bianca has a very intuitive way of guiding but is at the same time very sharp and clear. She understands and guided deep emotional processes very uniquely. Combined with her executive experience and insights, she supported me through a journey of transforming myself as a CEO as well as changes in my business. Working with her is not only professional but also personally enriching.

Thomas Primus, CEO FoodNotify

Bianca is an impressively versed coach who can navigate not just feelings but also strategic decision making. I feel more on track than I ever was.

Dr. Lena Eckert, Author, Reseracher & Founder icp — institute for critique and practice

Bianca helped me to release stuck emotions and to make a very hard decision which turned out to be very different from what I (my ego) thought that I wanted. She guided me to hear my inner voice which showed me a different path which I now follow. Very grateful our paths have crossed!

Hanno Lippitsch, CEO Eversports

I feel blessed to work with you, Bianca. You have a rare ability to break down complexity into something I can actually face, step by step, while seeing the person behind the CEO. It takes real courage to choose vulnerability in leadership, and you give us the safe space to be vulnerable.

Ana Teresa Maia, CEO ExpressTec

Bianca helped me in a way only someone who has truly been there can. What made me trust her deeply is that she didn’t just study transformation, she lived it. She went through the fire herself and had the courage to move from one role to the next. When I wasn’t ready to speak about certain things, Bianca had a powerful way of guiding me inside into the emotions we usually don’t allow ourselves to feel. Her work is grounded, not esoteric, yet very deep.

Selma Prodanovic, Social Futurist & Ecosystem Builder

Bianca has guided me in a critical time of change in my business and supported me in trusting to pivot. She has such clarity and empathy in her coaching and makes the deep inner work feel safe and even enjoyable (we laughed a lot!). I have accessed visions and ideas that I have buried for decades through our sessions – this was the foundation for my new company and evolvement. I am very grateful for your guidance, Bianca, and the insights that have helped me break down my own 'inner walls' a little further.

Anja Teßmann, CEO Sisterhood

I first met Bianca during a leadership training she held at my company, and I felt I wanted to continue working with her one-on-one. Choosing her as my coach has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Bianca has a rare gift for blending strategic insight with deep emotional and intuitive support. Working with you, Bianca, is not only a joy – it's been a true game changer. The shifts that happen through looking within ripple so powerfully into leadership, decisions, and clarity.

Angela Cardinale, Senior Manager CBS

In 2022, I hit rock bottom with my first company - overwhelmed by running my business while caring for my three kids and myself. I searched 'mindful business coaching for women' and found Bianca. No funnels, no prior connection - just an immediate feeling that this was right. And it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I came to her wanting to create an online course, but what I truly needed was support navigating my business relationships. Through our work, I didn’t just build a course - I built a personal brand I love. I’m deeply grateful for Bianca’s unique support and the impact she continues to have on my journey.

Dr. Wiebke Vogelaar, Author and Founder, AlmaMater

I was able to connect with Bianca from the first moment. Thanks to her gentle and at the same time powerful way, we quickly got to the root. Our work helped me to release an inner block and take my mission and vision to the next level. As a coach myself, it is essential on my path to always stick to my own process. Bianca was a great companion on this path to keep body, mind & soul in harmony.

Peter Hackmaier, Founder Impact Club

Not every retreat is about switching off. Some is real work. The journey I've done with Bianca's guidance from not having a voice to protecting it, has been incredibly meaningful to me. This wasn't about rest. It was deep, somatic work - uncomfortable, emotional, and very grounding.

Anikó Ivanics, Investor & Co-founder Start it@K&H

A complete game-changer. The idea of emotional mastery for a more grounded way of being, leading and connecting. I can highly recommend Bianca's sessions to everybody, especially men.

Felix Zabel, TUM Venture Labs

Working with Bianca is transformative. She helped us build a stronger co-founder relationship, navigate tough moments, and grow into more confident, aligned leaders. Her deep understanding of the startup world, and the pressure that comes with it, made her guidance incredibly relevant and impactful.

Tobias Klug, CEO nuuenergy

Bianca, you're a shining star! It was great and so insightful (again).

Maija Itkonen, Onego Bio

Working with Bianca is for me so incredible, because she doesn't only understand the life of a founder, but especially the life of 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, Serial Founder

Taking care of your mind is as critical as taking care of your body and business. Bianca, as a former founder, deeply understands this. She doesn’t just help prevent burnout; she empowers founders really harness their potential and turn their mental well-being into a strategic advantage. We recommend her fully to our portfolio founders.

Leadership is the most daring path we can take. It's time to lead from the soul, not from our wounds.
