INTRODUCING OUR LOVELY TEAM BEHIND THE SCENES
OUR STORY
ILC was founded in 2014 in London (UK) as a one-person practice by our current CEO—a response to a troubling pattern seen across even the world’s most renowned companies: brilliant people with untapped potential, overlooked or misused. What began as a quiet rebellion against this norm soon gained momentum. By 2019, we had moved our headquarters to Sofia, Bulgaria, a vibrant city that mirrored our own hunger for change and growth. With new international voices joining our team, ILC expanded—always guided by the same unwavering vision.
That vision is simple yet profound: a world where high-performers are truly seen, supported, and empowered to flourish—not just for personal gain, but to contribute meaningfully to the greater good. We believe potential should never be confined or distorted. Instead, it should be cultivated, amplified, and directed toward lasting impact.
Since day one, we’ve been on a mission to walk alongside ambitious, purpose-driven individuals—those striving to succeed while making the world of work, and the world at large, a better place. Through every evolution, we’ve stayed rooted in our core values: honesty, bravery, and integrity. Our relocation to Sofia was not just geographical; it symbolized a broader opening to diversity, creativity, and human-centered progress. We invite you to meet the people behind ILC—each one committed to transforming potential into something truly powerful.
