About Us
“A strong business begins with clarity about who you are and why your work matters.”
-Lily Suarez-Vera
Woman-Minority Owned- 2016
La Dolce Vita Group is proudly woman- and minority-owned, founded on the belief that representation matters—not only in business, but in leadership, opportunity, and the example we leave for those who come after us.
Our story has been shaped by resilience, ambition, and the experience of building without always seeing ourselves reflected in the rooms we entered. That perspective continues to influence how we lead, how we serve, and how we show up in the world.
We believe success carries a responsibility beyond personal achievement. It creates possibility. It expands what others believe is available to them. As a first-generation Colombian-American founder and mother, that responsibility is deeply personal.
This business exists not only to build meaningful companies but to demonstrate what becomes possible when women lead authentically, when diverse voices are represented, and when founders have the courage to build businesses that reflect who they truly are.
Because every generation deserves to inherit a world where possibility is easier to imagine than limitation.
Our Philosophy
We believe entrepreneurship is one of the greatest catalysts for personal evolution.
Every season of business asks something different of the founder. As leadership expands, so does the vision. What once served the business eventually gives way to what is now being asked to emerge.
The business reflects that evolution.
When founders continue to grow but their business remains unchanged, friction appears—not as failure, but as an invitation to evolve.
We believe meaningful businesses are built by honoring both the visible and the unseen, integrating strategy with intuition, and making decisions that are in integrity with the vision they are here to lead.
Our Methodology
No two businesses require the same solution because no two founders are building the same vision. That’s why every engagement begins with understanding the founder, the business, and what’s ready to evolve.
Our methodology integrates executive business strategy, brand positioning, operational refinement, and intuitive mediumship to evaluate your business from multiple perspectives. Rather than prescribing a predefined solution, we identify what will create the greatest impact based on where your business is today—and where you’re being called to lead it next.
For some founders, that means refining their positioning. For others, it’s strengthening operations, reimagining their digital presence, or entering a deeper advisory partnership.
The deliverables may change.
The methodology does not.
Every recommendation is designed to help your business evolve alongside the leader you’re becoming.
Building With Intention
Businesses are rarely rebuilt because they fail.
More often, they’re rebuilt because the founder has evolved beyond the business they originally created.
What once reflected your vision, leadership, and capacity eventually begins to feel incomplete—not because it was wrong, but because you’ve grown.
We believe the strongest businesses are intentionally refined over time, allowing them to evolve alongside the founder and continue supporting the impact they’re here to create.

Intuative Business Partner|Business Mentor
Lilia Suarez-Vera is a business strategist, brand consultant, and founder mentor — and the creator of the NOVA Method, a 6-step framework built for founders who are ready to stop building on a foundation that no longer fits. With over a decade of experience working across brand strategy, digital presence, and business development — including early career work alongside global and Fortune-level brands — Lilia brings a rare combination of strategic rigor and human depth to her work.
As a first-generation Colombian-American, she understands what it means to build something from nothing and to grow into a version of yourself you didn't always have a roadmap for. That perspective shapes everything about how she works.
She founded La Dolce Vita Group in 2016 with one belief: that the most powerful businesses are built when strategy, brand, and identity are truly aligned — not just aesthetically, but from the inside out. Her clients are women founders doing $10–20k per month who are incredible at what they do — and ready to go deeper than strategy to get to the next level.
