“Lise and Juila have been incredible thought partners, allies, and an invaluable support network as I’ve navigated a career transition.

What I find particularly special about Verge is their thoughtful and intimate 1-on-1 style; and the long-range, long-term support they provide to and through an offer—they still make themselves available to support even after you’ve been placed. 

It’s easy to lose your confidence in this industry, and your way. Verge has helped me to reorient and regain mine. Now, I see so many more possibilities in what can feel like a vast, unknown career-change frontier. I’ve already recommended Verge to several industry colleagues, and will continue to!”

“Verge, has been an invaluable anchor during a critical time of transition for our organization. Verge seamlessly collaborated with both our staff and board, helping us set clear priorities, cultivate a positive and inclusive work culture, and establish systems of care that are often overlooked in the art and nonprofit sectors. Their work culture assessment, analysis, and tailored recommendations have been instrumental in our growth, providing a solid foundation for sustained success. Verge’s support has set up user-friendly, inclusive people and culture systems that truly reflect our values. We couldn’t have navigated this period of change without their guidance, and we are deeply grateful for their expertise and commitment.”

“Working with VERGE was an exceptional experience. Julia and Lise were attentive, responsive, and truly invested in connecting me with opportunities that aligned with my values and goals. The in-depth reports they provided gave me insights I would never have found on my own, allowing me to make informed decisions. Their care and commitment to diversifying and strengthening the art industry is inspiring and evident in everything they do. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a true partner in building a meaningful career in the arts.”

“We came to Verge with a research question, to which they provided a brilliant report — but what stood out most was how much time they carved out to listen to our needs, understand the parameters of what we wanted to explore, and propose additional avenues that we hadn't even considered.”
