TESTIMONIALS

Testimonial 4

“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!”

“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.”
