I bring over 25 years’ experience in professional services to my coaching. As a Lawyer Coach, my clients include lawyers in national firms, regional firms, one-office firms, specialized boutiques and solo.
I began my career at PwC in Toronto, where I quickly moved to the Corporate Recovery and Insolvency Group. Subsequently, I transferred to Bermuda with the same firm, where I specialized in auditing offshore reinsurance and financial entities. While in Bermuda, I joined EY and rapidly ascended to the position of Partner. Although successful, I sought new challenges beyond Bermuda and decided to leverage my experience in the Lloyd’s of London reinsurance market. I then joined Mazars in the UK, the sixth largest firm in Europe, which had a substantial presence in the reinsurance sector. There, I served as a Litigation Support and Forensic Investigations Partner with a focus on reinsurance. Following my achievements in business development, I was appointed as the firm’s National Business Development and Marketing Partner, leading strategic initiatives across the firm’s 20 offices.
The name “Korverge” effectively represents the ‘convergence’ of skilled professionals with support in business development, marketing, and communications, emphasizing collaboration.
More than 15 years ago, I returned to Toronto and founded Korverge Inc., a business development consultancy.
Serving as a coach for lawyers has been a rewarding part of my career.
