CORE Strategic is a high-trust advisory firm built for leaders operating under pressure.
Built for disruption. Anchored in strategy. Driven by purpose. CORE.
Bold counsel. Trusted strategy. Built for impact.
We advise leaders navigating complexity, disruption, and high-stakes decision-making. Our work helps organizations find clarity early — before pressure hardens into crisis — and act with confidence when the cost of delay is real. Ultimately, we help leaders see pressure coming — and act before decisions are forced.
We lead where pressure meets purpose. As co-strategists, we help leaders interpret emerging risk, navigate competing demands and make decisions that hold under scrutiny — when every move carries consequence. From activist disruption to long-term reconciliation, we bring clarity, foresight and fortified strategies that move leaders from reactive response to durable resilience.
Our experience is unique. Our perspective is shaped by long exposure to how pressure actually forms and escalates. We don’t just see the landscape — we help leaders move through it with judgment, control and purpose.

CORE’s Land Acknowledgement
At CORE Strategic, we recognize our work unfolds across the traditional territories of many Indigenous Nations. While we serve clients across Turtle Island, our work is based out of Calgary — on the ancestral lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina Nation, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations (Chiniki, Bearspaw and Wesley) and within Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
Our work is rooted in trust, respect and long-term thinking — values that guide our commitment to meaningful relationships with Indigenous Peoples. We honour the knowledge, leadership and resilience of Indigenous communities and are committed to listening, learning and showing up with integrity in every engagement.
