Libby VanValin
Ministry might as well be Libby VanValin’s middle name because she lives to minister to others. As Chief People and Culture Officer of OLV Investment Group, Libby’s number one priority is to build-up the OLV team members. She does this through organizing employee events, charitable giving and projects, service projects, overseas mission’s trips, book/Bible studies, conducting hiring interviews, better understanding employee relationships through DISC personality exams and handling internal communications and paperwork.
Libby and her husband Jesse began working with Dean and Zan Oliver in 2006. The mentorship blossomed into a partnership, and OLV Investment Group was born in 2012. Libby’s kind-hearted nature led her to earn a Bachelor of Science in Health Education from the University of Michigan-Flint, and she uses that same caring personality to strengthen the OLV “family.”
Libby and Jesse have three spunky, bright girls (all born between 2008 and 2011). Always active and on the go, their girls keep Libby and Jesse on their toes. When she’s not in the office, Libby enjoys holistic pursuits, nutrition, exercise, and wellness. They are members of their local church and actively work at supporting missions in South Africa.
