As a purpose-driven entrepreneur and a citizen of the Métis Nation, Annie Korver is dedicated to enriching relationships between Indigenous and corporate communities. Annie founded Rise Consulting (“Rise”) in 2013 when she was inspired to respond to the call to Reconciliation and advance Indigenous inclusion.  

Championing a values-based approach, Annie creates spaces where clients can realize their strategic visions for inclusion, establish reciprocal relationships and produce impactful outcomes. Annie is a community and industry leader focused on the principles that make those relationships work: respect, relevance, reciprocity, responsibility and relationships. Under her leadership, Rise has lived up to its name — growing into a national brand over the past decade and becoming certified as a B Corporation in 2023.  

Annie holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Calgary and proudly serves as a Director with the Canadian Council of Indigenous Business and Canadian Business for Social Responsibility. She was recognized in 2024 as a distinguished Thompson Rivers University alumni as an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® finalist.
