NB365: Robert Gallant Of Raven Management Solutions In Moncton
This is part of a year-long ‘Love for Local’ series called NB365: portraits of New Brunswick entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations. Huddle is a media partner with Love for Local. Today we feature Robert Gallant of Raven Management Solutions, in Moncton.
While I was looking for a “real job” after completing my MBA in 2002, I was asked to manage the Hubcap Comedy Festival while I was in between jobs.
This opportunity lead to an unexpected journey into social entrepreneurship and was soon followed by a seemingly eclectic, but surprisingly similar collection of contracts–ranging from event management to social action initiatives, arts and culture development, small and medium business consulting and community development.
My company, Raven Management Solutions, was created in 2003 to meet these unique community needs and has been happily working away to help others ever since.
Most of what we accomplish is because of our local relationships. Supporting local businesses and non-profits has paid off in dividends, as we are able to leverage partnerships and collaborations not just for us but by connecting our clients to the right people.
The majority of our business comes from local word-of-mouth referrals. There is no greater compliment than someone sending people your way because they know they will get treated right by us.
We are a community, and in a global marketplace, local support can make all the difference to success.
