VIBE CEO Lunch Series at Verity
Private, curated lunches for women CEOs, founders, and business owners building what comes next.
You built your business because you wanted more freedom, more impact, more income, and more choice.
But somewhere along the way, the dream may have started to feel heavier than expected.
You are good at what you do. You have expertise. You have ambition. You have ideas. But running and growing a business can still feel isolating, fragmented, and harder than it looks from the outside.
That is why we are hosting a series of curated VIBE CEO lunches at Verity
These are not networking events.
They are intimate, high-trust conversations for women founders and CEOs who want to step away from the noise, meet the right peers, gain fresh perspective, and reconnect with the business they actually want to build.
VIBE CEO is designed as a premium community & think tank for women in CEO, founder, and owner roles — through highly curated peer circles, applied AI, and noetic science-based inner work, we help CEOs and founders make better decisions, grow smarter businesses, and build powerful lives across health, wealth, and longevity.
Because the next level of leadership requires the whole brain — and the whole person.
What This Series Is About
Each lunch is designed around a specific type of founder or CEO.
You will be seated with women who understand your stage, your questions, your ambition, and the complexity of building something meaningful.
You will leave with:
-
More clarity on where you are taking your business next
-
One or two practical insights you can apply immediately
-
Meaningful conversations with women who understand the CEO/founder experience. Guided conversation with Kim Chernecki, Geralyn Ochab, and Jennifer Beale
-
A better sense of whether VIBE CEO is the right peer community for your next phase/stage
-
A renewed feeling of possibility, momentum, and a deeper sense that you’re not building alone.
This is for women who want more than surface-level networking..
It is for women who want strong business conversations, honest connection, and a place where strategy, intuition, ambition & “woo” can all exist at the same table.

1. The Firm Builders Lunch
For expert-led business owners building a firm on their own terms.
Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Verity, 111d Queen St. East Toronto, ON M5C1S
Investment: $149
Format: Curated lunch, guided conversation, peer insight, and VIBE CEO introduction
Capacity: Limited / By invitation
Who this is for:
This lunch is for women who have built, or are building, an expert-led business.
You may be a consultant, advisor, coach, strategist, fractional executive, agency founder, professional services founder, or specialist with deep expertise.
You may have come from a corporate or a senior leadership role. You may have started your business for freedom, independence, income, impact, or choice.
And now you may be asking:
-
How do I grow without doing everything myself?
-
How do I sell my expertise without feeling like I am selling myself?
-
How do I clarify my offer and stop customizing everything?
-
How do I build more consistent revenue and profit for scale?
-
How do I create thought leadership that actually moves the business?
-
How do I build the business I want, not the one everyone says I should want?
This lunch is for the woman who wants to build a firm that reflects her own definition of success — whether that means a highly profitable solo practice, a small expert team, a seven-figure firm, or a larger platform.
The point is not to chase someone else’s model.
The point is to get clearer on yours.
The promise
You will leave with renewed clarity around the kind of firm you want to build, a stronger sense that you are not doing this alone, and real connection with women who are navigating similar decisions.
You will not leave with a generic five-step formula.
You will leave with sharper thinking, better questions, and the feeling that you have found a table where your ambition and your humanity both belong.

Format: Curated lunch, guided conversation, peer insight, and VIBE CEO introduction
Capacity: Limited / By invitation
Who this is for:
This lunch is for women founders and CEOs building companies in innovation-driven sectors.
You may be leading a business in technology, healthtech, medtech, AI, SaaS, science, innovation, or another emerging category where the path is not linear.
You may be navigating commercialization, capital, pilots, partnerships, investor conversations, market education, or the pressure of building something before the market fully understands it.
This lunch is for you if you are asking:
-
How do I make better strategic decisions with limited time and capital?
-
How do I build credibility in a complex or emerging market?
-
How do I balance vision with execution?
-
How do I stay grounded while navigating investors, partners, customers, and uncertainty?
-
Where do I find women who understand the complexity of this stage?
The promise
You will leave with clearer perspective, sharper questions, and connection with women who understand what it means to build in complexity.
This is a place for founders who are not just growing a business — they are shaping a category, opening a market, or building what comes next.

This lunch is for you if you are asking:
-
Where can I have honest conversations with women operating at a similar level?
-
How do I lead the next stage without burning out?
-
How do I think more clearly about growth, people, profit, and legacy?
-
How do I stay connected to myself while carrying real responsibility?
-
Who can I talk to when the decisions are too nuanced for casual advice?
The promise
You will leave with meaningful peer connection, fresh perspective, and a clearer sense of what becomes possible when you are surrounded by women who understand leadership at the top
This is not a place for posturing.
It is a place for honest, strategic, human conversation.

Co-Founder, VIBE CEO | CEO, Augmentr | Strategic Advisor to CEOs and Growth Companies**
Geralyn Ochab is a CEO, board member, strategic advisor, and co-founder of VIBE CEO, known for helping leaders turn complexity into clarity and ambition into aligned action.
Operating at the intersection of technology, healthcare, productization, and business strategy, Geralyn has built her career helping companies navigate growth, transformation, and high-stakes decision-making. Her experience spans startups, scale-ups, and Fortune 500 companies, giving her a rare ability to understand both the entrepreneurial reality of building something from the ground up and the discipline required to scale with credibility.
Geralyn has supported hundreds of CEOs and executive teams through moments that define the future of a business: securing first commercial contracts, refining business models, restructuring teams, preparing for investment, navigating acquisitions, entering new markets, and making bold strategic decisions with confidence. She has led multi-million-dollar turnarounds, helped organizations move through complexity, and guided leaders toward greater alignment, focus, and measurable impact.
As CEO of Augmentr, Geralyn works alongside CEOs and leadership teams as a strategic growth and accountability partner. Her work combines rigorous analysis, commercial discipline, systems thinking, and creative problem-solving — a whole-brain approach that blends left-brain strategy with right-brain intuition, pattern recognition, and vision. This ability to integrate the analytical and the human side of leadership is one of the reasons CEOs trust her when the stakes are high and the path forward is not obvious.
Co-founding VIBE CEO, is a natural extension of Geralyn’s life’s work. After decades of working closely with CEOs, she saw a clear need for something more intentional than traditional networking: a trusted table where women CEOs and founders could think strategically, speak honestly, build meaningful relationships, and move their businesses — and themselves — forward.
VIBE CEO was created for women who carry real responsibility, make real decisions, and want to grow in a room where both business performance and personal alignment matter. For Geralyn, the mission is simple: help more women CEOs access the strategy, support, connection, and clarity they need to build thriving businesses, stronger leadership, and more expansive lives.
