A private advisory house is judged by the same standard as its clients: it says little, and it is precise about what it says.
Minerva Consulting was founded on a single observation. The leaders who shape demanding organisations rarely lack advice. What they lack is a confidential space where their own development is taken as seriously as the quarter's results - and measured with the same discipline.
We work with a limited number of clients at a time, in banking and private wealth, luxury hospitality, professional partnerships, family businesses and real estate. Every engagement begins the same way: with measurement, not opinion.
THE TWO PRINCIPALS
Deliana Mineva Principal
Real Estate & Development
Twenty years in luxury real estate and interior design taught an equally precise lesson: excellence is a habit, or it is nothing. Deliana spent two decades advising clients for whom detail is not decoration but identity - and observed that the properties, portfolios and teams that endure are the ones led with intention rather than inherited reflex. Today she leads engagements for luxury hospitality groups, real estate houses and family businesses - bringing to each the discretion her clients have always assumed and the measurement they did not expect.
Stela Mineva Principal
Banking & Private Wealth
Seventeen years inside banking and finance taught one lesson above all: pressure does not build character - it reveals it. Stela spent her career in rooms where decisions moved markets, and saw firsthand that the difference between a good bank and a great one is rarely the strategy. It is the judgement of the people trusted to carry it. Today she leads succession and leadership engagements for private banks, family offices and professional partnerships - bringing to each the same standard the industry taught her: what cannot be measured cannot be defended.
WHY TWO WORLDS IN ONE HOUSE
Most advisory firms choose between two origins. They come from industry and speak its language - or they come from coaching and speak its promise. We chose a third arrangement: two principals, two worlds, one method.
One house cannot understand a client's world from a case study. It must have lived in it. Between them, the principals bring direct experience of the environments in which our clients operate - the rhythm of a trading floor, the patience of a family business, the exacting standards of a brand whose name is its only asset. What unites them is the discipline underneath: every engagement measured at the start, developed with intention, documented at the close.
Our clients recognise themselves in this - and recognise, usually with relief, that nothing here needs to be explained first.
Credentials
Both principals are professional accredited coaches, trained by iPEC in the Energy Leadership Index™, COR.E Leadership Dynamics™ and COR.E Transition Dynamics™, and by ICI (Geneva, Paris) in NLP methodologies.

If your situation requires discretion first, we should talk.
Contact
Please include your role, organisation and the leadership aspiration you are pursuing. Initial conversations are held with the principal, without obligation, and in strict confidence.
Our work sits alongside - never in place of - clinical interventions, medical care and therapeutic support. When a situation falls outside our mandate, we say so, quickly and clearly, and refer appropriately.
