Célia Berkouk-Schlesier
︎︎︎I’m a passionate mental health advocate who finds balance through sports 🏃♀️💃⛷️🎾🏊♀️, my support system 🫂🧑🧑🧒🧒, and the grounding power of nature 🌊🌳🌍 — the core foundations of my mental well-being.
In 2023, I co-founded FWBW.org alongside an incredible group of women, and our community continues to grow stronger every day. I’m also the Founder and CEO of CBS Consulting.
At CBS, we’re not just consulting — we’re doing. I partner with founders and brands around the world to turn niche ideas into scalable, impactful businesses. My focus? Strategy, growth, and building genuine connections between products and people.
And let’s just say — I could sell ice to an Eskimo. 😉
(Those negotiation skills? Validated by Harvard in 2023.)
Let’s connect — book a time to chat here.
