Verena Wahlandt founded starboard to unite her previous experience under a new brand that aims to change the game for ambitious founders and entrepreneurial minds, just like herself.
Besides working for numerous renowned brands from Rocket Internet, Red Bull Media, UNIQA Ventures, leading PR and growth marketing agencies and rising startups as an employee or as a strategic advisor, Verena knows the game of modern PR and digital communications.
Her passion for sailing and the open waters inspired Verena to found starboard. Currently based in the heart of Europe, we are a remote first company with a global focus and a strong sympathy for new work.

Verena founded starboard communications & consulting in 2023 with the mission to make professional PR and communications services accessible to startups at any stage who have stories that deserve to be heard.
After working for about 15 years in the media, PR and marketing industry, Verena is now combining her passion for storytelling and the world of business, tech innovation and investing. Being a creative mind with a strong analytical side, Verena loves to challenge the status quo, think outside the box and she thrives on entrepreneurial topics. She finds inspiration in being active, going on (mostly culinary) adventures and exploring the seaside while sailing.
