Who We Are
Initially dedicated to the Professional Services sector – principally accounting and legal, Korverge has evolved to encompass many industry sectors. As our name implies – we are a ‘konvergence’ of talent, skills, wisdom, judgment – and extraordinary experience. Each Korverge principal has over 25 years of experience and has held director or owner/partner positions in premier Canadian and international organizations.
We know the challenges businesses face because each principal has been on the other side of the desk in well-known organizations addressing the same challenges you are. That’s why we established Korverge – a single source provider of business development strategies, marketing, creative, branding strategies, communications and social media services – all focused on revenue generation.
Larry Stroud
How is it that an innovative thinker who started his career as a Chartered Accountant (“CA”) has become a highly sought after advisor on business development, communications and marketing?
In part it is because he trained with Price Waterhouse, obtaining his CA and shifting his focus to corporate recovery and insolvency. Larry transferred to a Price Waterhouse office in an off-shore location focusing on reinsurance. He then moved firms to become one of the youngest partners ever in Ernst & Young’s predecessor firm at the age of 29.
Brian Cope
Does experience matter when clients face tough revenue generation issues?
With over 30 years in the institutional investments, professional services, corporate and not-for-profit arenas, Brian offers clients a depth of knowledge and business development experience rarely found when businesses seek to enhance revenue generation.
Rami Lippa
Why does Korverge, a consultancy that is focused on business development, have a creative director as a founding principal?
Because Rami brings over 20 years of award-winning consumer marketing and design acumen that is relevant and refreshing for the corporate and business arenas. His adeptness in distilling brands into their distinct core message and his ability to bring them to life is outstanding and is fundamental to our client’s success.
David Bowen
David focuses on working with clients through significant change, enhancing leadership capability and building effective teams.
He is renowned for his ability to engage, mentor and build lasting relationships of trust with all levels of corporate executives, business owners and professionals.
Derek Lee
In today's business environment, is it reasonable or practical to create a marketing and business development plan that does not include a social media component?
Given social media's ubiquitous nature and the interconnectedness of the world in which we live, to ignore it is not only shortsighted, but may also result in lost revenue and brand and customer service opportunities.
