Announcement: Diane Richard joins Laridae

Laridae Communications Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of the book of business of Diatom Consulting Ltd., including its esteemed Founder and President, Diane Richard. This strategic move enhances Laridae’s position as a leader in management consulting for the non-profit sector while extending its expertise into new industries and services.

Laridae has been providing management consulting services, with strength in strategy, governance, and people engagement for non-profits across Canada since 2012. Diatom Consulting has been providing very similar services including operations management in manufacturing and service businesses since 2014.

“Laridae has developed a strong reputation for quality training and ongoing management consulting across the client base that we have been serving, with many opportunities to continue to grow our offerings across different industries and geographies,” said Danielle Rocheleau, CEO of Laridae. “It makes sense to collaborate with Diane, who already has a track record in these arenas.”

Diane Richard, President of Diatom Consulting says that “Danielle and I met as colleagues 20 years ago and both pursued our Chartered Board Director Certification from the same program. I was intrigued by how similarly we approached our respective consulting practices. Laridae has a wonderful team of project managers to tap into, and I look forward to working with them.”

Together, Laridae and Diane Richard are developing innovative training programs and services that combine their respective expertise. This partnership is expected to open new opportunities while maintaining seamless service delivery for existing clients.
