Founder, CEO & High Level Coach

Valerie Delforge

Thirty years. Every type of leader. Every type of crisis.

Valerie Delforge has sat in the rooms where decisions are hardest and the stakes are highest. She has watched brilliant people burn out, check out, and slowly stop trusting themselves.

She built The Delforge Group because she knew there was a better way. Not harder. Smarter. Not louder. Clearer.

If you are carrying too much and achieving less than you know you’re capable of, Valerie is the person you call. She is a strategist, mentor, and commercial leader with deep roots in the global beauty industry. Her leadership experience spans decades of operational and commercial growth across the globe, where performance, precision, and structure were non-negotiable.

After leading high-growth teams, she built her consultancy to support founders navigating the pressures of leadership. Her clients affectionately call her their “Business Shadow” — the one who listens, untangles, and helps them rebuild clarity from complexity.

Valerie’s approach is intuitive, honest, and grounded. She works in partnership with leaders ready to simplify, realign, and grow without sacrificing themselves in the process.

"The pressure to be perfect stops here. For over 30 years, I’ve built a reputation on strategy, systems, and hard-won commercial growth. But here is the real truth I've learned from every leader, every boardroom, and every crisis: You cannot build a sustainable business on a fragile human foundation. When you are carrying the weight of the world - the budgets, the team, the inventory, the profit margin - it is easy to become a burnt-out leader. My job is no longer just to give you a roadmap. My job is to give you the resilience to drive it.”
