MY STORY

Olivia Montague de Verteuil

I started Lavi Rèv, a consulting firm specializing in strategic planning, finance, and project management, with the intention to pour over a decades worth of knowledge back into my community and women of color.

I obtained my degree in Finance and International Business from American University’s Kogod School of Business in Washington, DC. During that time I also completed the International Finance Semester Abroad at Universidad Pontifica Comillas, ICADE Business School in Madrid, Spain.

I also completed the Summer Venture in Management Program at Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

At American University, I was selected as the first Kogod School of Business, Woman of the Year, for my work with my then lifestyle brand Styled by Olivia and the contributions made to the AU community.

I started my career as a Financial Services Consultant at EY New York, where I gained my foundation in consulting and strategic planning. I later moved to Paris, France to work as a Director at EuroBusiness Media, a communications firm focused on developing strategic messaging and corporate content. I worked with some of the most prominent CEOs across Europe.

After moving to Hong Kong, I became a Finance Digital Transformation Manager at Capco Hong Kong where I managed large scale institutional change projects between Hong Kong and Europe.

Learning to adapt and work across North America, Europe and Asia has been the most rewarding aspect of my career. Regardless of where I have worked in the world, being able to communicate effectively across cultures is one of the most valuable skills I’ve developed and now apply across all areas of my life.
