Veronica Kolibab

Veronica Kolibab is a business development leader, community connector, mentor, and entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience helping businesses and people grow through the power of relationships.

In 2008, she founded the Martini Network, an independent networking organization that has evolved into a comprehensive Business Development Ecosystem. Today, it brings together in-person and online events, a robust business directory, business resources, the Martini Network app, and the Business Expansion Academy — an affordable coaching and development community created to help small business owners grow personally, professionally, and in business.

Veronica holds multiple certifications in personal and professional development tools and techniques, is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Certified SCORE Mentor, and has spent years mentoring business owners, professionals, organizations, and emerging leaders throughout her community.

She is also a longtime St. Lucie County Chamber Ambassador, a three-time Ambassador of the Year, and currently serves as St. Lucie Chapter Chair for the Treasure Coast Builders Association. She also co-founded the Fort Pierce Business Exchange and has helped launch and support numerous community initiatives. She was also the Valedictorian for her St Lucie Leadership Class 41.

Her work has earned recognition throughout the Treasure Coast, including being named WFLX FOX 29’s 2026 Viewers’ Choice Best Local Influencer. In 2025, the Martini Network was the winner of the Promotional & Advertisement Category at the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce’s 39th Annual Business & Industry Awards.

Professionally, Veronica serves as Regional Director of Business Development for Project LIFT, a Florida nonprofit helping at-risk teens and young adults ages 14–25 redirect at-risk behaviors through skilled-trades training — including carpentry, welding, HVAC, electrical, automotive, marine mechanics, metal fabrication and more — all through the lens of mental health and sobriety.

At the heart of everything Veronica does is a simple belief: relationships matter. She believes that building strong networks, connecting people with opportunities, and genuinely helping others is one of the most powerful paths to success.

And when she isn't connecting people or championing a cause, Veronica is a passionate animal lover and supporter of local nonprofit animal rescues, including Dogs & Cats Forever and Kobe’s Cottage. She is also the proud cat mom of three rescues — Xena, Jelly, and Fiona — who, naturally, have their own TikTok channel.
