Founder & Director Vanessa Davey

The founder and managing director, Vanessa Davey, launched the first Venus Club in Tauranga early 2008.

Vanessa is a lively, passionate, and energetic  facilitator and entrepreneur. She lives in Mount Maunganui with her husband Logan. She started working as a professional organiser in London in 2000 and returned to New Zealand 2004 to settle down.

Vanessa believes we are meant to follow our passions. Her passion for organising led her to start a home based business in Tauranga ‘The Clutter Coach’. She experienced the challenges with owning and building her own small business. She also discovered how challenging it was to grow a small business effectively on a limited budget. With professional organising still in its infancy as a profession in New Zealand, Vanessa decided to broaden her horizons and look for opportunities she could apply her organising & facilitation skills to. She discovered her passion for small business and for bringing businesswomen together to support one another.

From here the concept of the Venus Clubs was born. Read where the name ‘Venus Clubs’ came from and what it means >>

Being in business on her own, she missed the support, encouragement and business friendships that came from working within a team. At the beginning of 2008 Vanessa launched the first Venus Club in central Tauranga. Bringing like-minded women together to help one another grow successful businesses is her passion and the essence of the Venus Clubs. Vanessa’s passion for small business has created an environment where women feel supported, can grow their networks, their businesses and ultimately themselves.

The Venus Clubs are part of the Venus Group Ltd, a conscious company providing practical resources for and opportunities to connect, support and promote New Zealand female entrepreneurs. Vanessa has created this company on the foundation of her purpose – to support and inspire entrepreneurial women who are consciously transforming themselves and their world through enterprise.
