Valeriya Hjertenaes is a PhD level expert in neurodiversity and sustainability leadership, working at the intersection of human performance, social sustainability, and leadership in complex systems.
As a neurodivergent leader with lived experience of OCD, she approaches leadership through the lens of cognitive diversity, structural resilience, and decision intelligence. Her work reframes neurodiversity not as an inclusion topic but as a performance advantage that strengthens ethical leadership and long term value creation.
Valeriya is the founder of the 5E Enablers Method™, a sustainable leadership framework built on five strategic principles: Empathize, Evolve, Evaluate, Enhance, and Empower. The model equips boards and executive teams to translate human complexity into measurable resilience, better decisions, and sustainable performance.
With more than 15 years of cross cultural leadership experience across Europe and international sectors, she has worked in corporate consulting, international enterprises, charitable foundations, and human rights initiatives. Fluent in seven languages, she operates confidently in complex global environments where trust, nuance, and precision shape outcomes.
Valeriya is also a global keynote speaker, author, mentor, coach, and award winning podcast host who works with boards, executive teams, and institutions to build sustainable high performance cultures.
