Unlocking Business Growth with Yuliia Solovyeva of CSV Group
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Yuliia Solovyeva, CEO of CSV Group, about how companies can accelerate growth through smarter strategy, psychology, and AI integration. Yuliia shares her expertise in helping startups and global brands enter new markets, win public tenders, and scale operations sustainably.

How Understanding People and Processes Drives Growth
Yuliia explains that sustainable business growth starts with understanding people—whether clients, partners, or teams. She introduces transactional analysis, a psychological framework that helps leaders recognize communication patterns and tailor their approach for better outcomes. By identifying whether someone is operating from a directive, logical, or emotional mindset, entrepreneurs can improve negotiations, build stronger relationships, and resolve conflicts effectively.
She also highlights CSV Group’s hands-on approach to business development, embedding its experts directly into client operations to deliver real, measurable results. From crafting go-to-market strategies to managing public and commercial tenders, the firm supports clients through every step of the process. Their blend of strategic execution, legal expertise, and AI-driven automation helps businesses streamline operations and open new revenue channels globally.
AI, Yuliia explains, is not a replacement for human connection—it’s a tool to amplify efficiency and insight. By automating repetitive processes and analyzing customer data, companies can free up teams to focus on creativity, strategy, and relationship-building. With the right balance of human intelligence and AI capability, businesses can scale faster and compete more effectively across markets.
