About Colin Cesvette
I’m Colin Cesvette, a digital capabilities consultant and author, passionate about empowering individuals and organizations to thrive without compromising their well-being.
My latest book, Live an Empowered Life: Achieve Success Without Self-Sacrifice, draws from decades of personal experience and professional insight. It’s a call to those who want to succeed on their own terms—through alignment, balance, and purposeful living. Whether you’re navigating corporate demands, personal loss, or seeking clarity in a fast-paced world, I help you reconnect with your inner compass and redefine success on your own terms.
As the founder of colincesvette.co.uk, I bring together modern strategy and ancient wisdom to guide others toward empowered, intentional living. I also lead Crowdfunding Campaigner Magazine, supporting entrepreneurs and organizations to realize their visions through alternative funding.
Over my career, I’ve helped global leaders like KPMG, American Express, Samsung, Elsevier, Nissan, and the BBC leverage digital tools for innovation and sustainable growth. Today, I combine that experience with storytelling, coaching, and practical insight to help others achieve personal and professional transformation.
