Vicki Preibisch
Founding Partner
Vicki Preibisch is a founding partner at Verja Capital, focused on capital strategy, governance, and investor alignment across the full investment lifecycle. She brings over two decades of experience operating at the intersection of capital markets, sustainability, and corporate transformation.
Her career spans senior roles at Citi, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Marel, and Controlant, where she has led and executed investments from sourcing and structuring through to exit, including IPOs, large-scale financings, and governance transformation in both institutional and high-growth environments. She combines disciplined capital allocation with hands-on operational insight - supporting companies in becoming investor-ready, scaling internationally, and building resilient, accountable organisations.
Vicki’s work is grounded in the belief that governance is leadership at its most demanding. She has held board and advisory roles across climate-tech, industrial, and institutional platforms, including Vice-Chair of UN Global Compact Iceland, and is a shareholder in a Nordic business angel network. Her expertise in sustainable investing (CFA Institute) and climate risk (GARP), alongside a background in global political economy and board governance, positions her at the forefront of aligning capital with long-term system resilience.
Based in Iceland, she brings a strong European investor network and deep connectivity into industrial and technology ecosystems. At Verja Capital, she leads investor relations and capital formation, ensuring alignment between institutional capital and mission-critical innovation.
