CoNavigant Enterprises Ltd. Opens in Vancouver

CoNavigant Enterprises Ltd. Opens in Vancouver

October 1, 2009
For Immediate Release:

CoNavigant Enterprises, Ltd. has begun operations in Vancouver, BC. For entrepreneurial companies experiencing the challenges of growth, CoNavigant provides skilled executives in all key functions, on an affordable part-time basis. Companies can get all the experience they need, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive team.

Catherine Gauthier operated a similar company in San Diego, California, with two other co-founders, John Neal and Douglas Wall. With a professional staff of up to 110, their firm supported the executive teams of over 500 local companies, many of their clients were venture-backed, and many of them eventually became public companies. Their work earned them recognition as finalists for “Entrepreneur of the Year” in the “Support of Entrepreneurship” category.

At one point, they counted over 90 percent of the startup companies they had served still in business after five years. This is a pretty astounding result, considering that on average, over 50% of companies fail in the first five years of operation. Catherine Gauthier attributes the success of their clients to the considerable knowledge base of best practices accumulated by the professional staff over the years.

According to Gauthier, there are certain things that every successful company must do well at each stage of growth, in order to advance to the next stage.  After serving hundreds of clients, the critical steps, and how best to accomplish them, become glaringly apparent.   It helps to have the perspective we can bring, and it takes some of the pressure off the CEO to have an independent, knowledgeable sounding board for key decisions.

CoNavigant is serving clients in Vancouver and surrounding areas.

For more information, call 604-800-0480, or visit www.conavigant.com.
