Drawing from years of experience in the demanding Health and Banking industries, Gwen worked alongside top-tier physicians, executives, and influencers, where she saw firsthand how the most driven professionals often lack the time to plan their own personal milestones. This inspired her to found Velvet Venues, building upon her unique strength of blending operational precision with deep emotional intelligence. She now leads a team dedicated to curating luxury, stress-free events for an exclusive clientele of founders, athletes, and industry leaders. Whether orchestrating an outdoor ceremony under the stars or an intimate dinner with curated hors d’oeuvres by partners like African Bites, Gwen’s mission is to ensure every moment feels calm, elegant, and completely unforgettable, giving the world's highest achievers the permission to simply be present and cherish their own celebrations.
As Co-Founder of Velvet Venues, Thomas serves as the backbone of the brand—ensuring every detail is executed to perfection, from securing funding to overseeing on-site operations. In addition to his entrepreneurial leadership, he also serves on the Board of a renowned African Bank and a U.S based non-profit organization where he provides strategic guidance and governance oversight. A true visionary and guiding force, his unwavering support and insightful leadership continue to empower Lene, the team, and the family behind Velvet Venues, propelling the brand toward lasting excellence.
