SECOR announced today it was merging with RPO Management Consultants, bringing together two of Canada's most successful strategic management consulting firms under the SECOR name. The move will strengthen SECOR's leadership position in Canada and will create a stronger foundation for continued international competitiveness and growth.
Recognized for delivering superior client service and winning strategies, SECOR has built a name for itself amongst large global corporations, multi-nationals, domestic companies and government agencies as a nimble and progressive consulting firm.
SECOR, founded 35 years ago in Montreal, has recently expanded in leading markets by opening offices in New York, Paris, Ho Chi Minh City, Toronto and Quebec City. With the addition of RPO, Vancouver will be added to the list.
SECOR has found a complementary partner in RPO, a company with a ten-year history of success in applying a highly analytic approach to clients' strategic issues. The combined company will now boast more than 170 employees in Canada, the United States, France and Vietnam.
"SECOR and RPO have both built solid reputations as firms that focus on the long-term success of their clients. This has resulted in lasting and trust-based relationships," says Yves Roy, CEO SECOR. "This merger ensures SECOR will be able to recruit additional high performing consultants who will enhance the entrepreneurial and pragmatic approach we take to our consulting work."
"This merger is about growth; it's about providing our clients with access to a larger global pool of talented consultants, deeper experience in key sectors and expert strength in a broader array of service areas," says Stephen Jones, a founding partner of RPO.
Together the two firms' best practices and capabilities complement each other. SECOR and RPO have strong practices in consulting offerings such as strategy, marketing, corporate finance, and strategy implementation support. Additionally, each firm has a growing practice in the arena of environmental sustainability.
SECOR and RPO each bring expertise in financial services, communications and media, resources, energy and transportation. RPO's expertise in public sector consulting as well as health care significantly adds to the SECOR knowledge base.
