Spotlight on Trusted Advisory & Business Clarity: Ernie Raymond
Chris Collins- A long-time friend of our founder, Ernie, has written a piece on him and KTAG!
Here is what he had to say:
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Ernie Raymond for over 20 years, dating back to our days working together at PeopleToGo. Over that time, I’ve seen Ernie’s entrepreneurial drive, integrity, and ability to earn trust wherever he goes. He’s not just a successful business leader, he’s a friend, mentor, and the kind of advisor who steadies the room and brings out the best in those around him.
Through KTAG, Ernie leads a team of seasoned professionals who bring well over a hundred years of combined business, technical, and executive experience. What sets KTAG apart is their ability to diagnose what’s really happening beneath the surface, whether it’s inefficiencies, governance gaps, or misaligned technology investments, and then design and implement solutions that move organizations to their highest potential.
KTAG’s leadership includes:
A Senior Partner of Professional Services with decades of experience leading professional services, program, and project management for top service and support organizations in Canada and internationally—highly respected by peers.
A Senior Partner in Consulting with decades of experience at leading consulting organizations, including roles as Canadian national service manager for a global firm.
Additional leaders with deep expertise in business process transformation, technology strategy, privacy compliance, risk management, and cloud economics.
Ernie’s approach is structured, outcome-focused, and refreshingly honest. He asks the hard questions early, identifies issues before they become costly, and helps leaders make decisions that stand up over time. KTAG’s philosophy reflects Ernie’s values: independent, focused attention on your business mission; no silos or “consultants-for-life” dependency; and a relentless focus on adding real value to the bottom line.
What truly distinguishes Ernie is his warm disposition, his reputation as a true gentleman, and the universal respect he commands from clients, colleagues, and partners alike. He leads with integrity and pragmatism, always putting people and outcomes first.
If you’re looking to operate at your highest potential, reduce risk, and move forward with clarity and confidence, I strongly recommend connecting with Ernie Raymond and the KTAG team. This is what trusted advisory should look like.
Many thanks to Chris for writing an amazing piece on our founder!
