Hi, I’m ryna mi.

I have no special talent, I am only passionately curious.
— Albert Einstein

By calling and passion…

I am a Wealth Systems Scientist and Wealth of Life Strategist. My work explores the profound connection between wealth and societal shifts, cultural transformations, and human behavior. I redefine wealth as a multidimensional concept—bridging financial assets, personal well-being, and the broader dimensions of life—to inspire balance, fulfillment, and meaningful legacies.

By business experience

I have worn many hats: ex-CEO of a multibillion-dollar private bank, wealth management expert, venture capital fundraiser and investor, M&A advisor, and turnaround strategist. Yet, my true essence lies in my philosophy and vision for the future of humanity and wealth — one that blends deep inquiry with compassionate guidance.

By Purposehood statement

I promote balance and harmony in individuals and society by depolarizing wealth-related matters, transforming mindsets, and offering methodologies for compassionate, ethical wealth creation. My mission is to help people rediscover wealth as a holistic concept, encompassing not just material abundance but fulfillment, connection, and joy.

On this journey, I strive to embody a cross-generational example of holistic wealth, fulfillment, and joy — serving my family, community, and the world at large.

By my business and service offering…

As a Wealth Systems Scientist

I study the history and evolving nature of wealth, uncovering how it operates as a dynamic system that shapes—and is shaped by—societal structures and human behavior. My research provides innovative frameworks to guide individuals and organizations toward aligned, sustainable prosperity.

As a Wealth of Life Strategist

I work with individuals and organizations to define and live their unique vision of wealthfulness. Using frameworka and methodologies like Sovereign Wealthfulness™ and Return on Life Capital, I help align values with resources, enabling a life of multidimensional balance and purpose.

By way of my personal life path….

I live by the principles I teach, actively nurturing my own wealthfulness through Life Capitalization. By integrating six life capitals—Time, Energy, Knowledge, Relationships, Material, and Health — I balance fulfillment, growth, and legacy in my daily life.

Why It Matters

Through my work, I aim to inspire a paradigm shift in how we perceive and engage with wealth. By aligning values, resources, and actions, I help others build scalable systems of wealth that transcend the material, empowering them to live fully and leave meaningful legacies.

My Wealthfulness Dimensions

Personal Realm: Fulfillment

This realm focuses on inner harmony, self-actualization, and emotional well-being.

  • Family and First Circle Relationships
    I am the mother of two daughters (15 and 9 years old) and an 11-year-old son, as well as the proud carer of our 1-year-old dog, Brownie. My family is my foundation, shaping and guiding my values, decisions, and joy in life.

  • Emotional and Inner Self Aspects
    An extroverted introvert, I embrace my Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Libra, and Virgo Ascendant. I am a Myers-Briggs ENTP and Enneagram Type 8 with a social instinct—bringing a mix of boldness, creativity, and connection to everything I do. Some traits? I prefer to keep them “under the veil.”

  • Spiritual and Metaphysical Dimensions
    I follow the perennial philosophy, admire Sufism, and practice shamanic traditions, exploring the spiritual layers of existence with curiosity and reverence.

Interpersonal Realm: Growth and Connection

This realm encompasses collaboration, relationships, and shared growth.

  • Social and Community
    Born in the Empire, raised among 126 nationalities by the sea, and now based in Montreux, Switzerland, I thrive in diverse cultural landscapes. As a member of YPO North Star and Alpine chapters, I contribute to and learn from vibrant global communities, constantly expanding my perspective.

  • Energy and Growth Drivers
    Curiosity, joy, and justice are my guiding principles. Whether exploring the natural and supernatural wonders of the world or bringing hope to others, I am fueled by a relentless drive to grow and connect.

This realm focuses on contributing to the world, shaping a legacy, and creating meaningful change.

  • Professional and Material
    With over 20 years of experience in private banking, wealth management, private equity, and venture capital, I am a strategic business development expert.

A Little Self-Irony

And yes, I embrace self-irony. If you’ve made it this far, let me share a secret: I once hated my grandmother’s borsch (the iconic Ukrainian-Russian beetroot soup). As a child, I even mixed it with fruit compote to make it taste better. Spoiler alert: that didn’t work. :)
