Our Team

Laura Grace

CEO

As Chief Executive Officer of the Edge group of companies, Laura has been instrumental in its explosive growth.  With her keen interest in systems and technology, she has led the management teams through a number of strategic mergers, acquisitions, and start-up ventures in both Canada and the US.  Laura utilizes her strong knowledge in internal processes with new and innovative softwares to implement efficient and effective administration, financial, and accounting workflows in companies, seeking to ever-improve upon already efficient systems. She is dedicated to streamlining information flow, leaving management unrestricted by the administrative and financial burdens that can quickly stall company growth.

Graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and starting her career in public practice, Laura has gained a wealth of business knowledge over the years. While analyzing financials and working with shareholders on external engagements, Laura quickly realized that she wanted to be more hands-on with the companies she was assisting and moved into the world of Corporate Accounting and Finance. Under her strong leadership, Edge has grown multifold.

Nominated for the 32nd annual RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards, Laura is committed to fostering a culture of trust, integrity and positivity within Edge. Her belief in the power of collaboration and open communication creates an environment where innovation flourishes and team members feel empowered to achieve their full potential.

Lance Leger

COO

Lance started his career as an accountant working for several large and small, for-profit and non-profit institutions. His financial acumen and knack for streamlining information systems led to significant improvements at all locations. Always willing to get his hands dirty to understand how a system works, he is just as comfortable working in the field as he is in the boardroom.

In 2008, Lance acquired his first company, managed a tripling of sales, expanded the workforce to over 150 employees and built the company to be the most dominant in its sector in Western Canada. He negotiated a successful acquisition of the business by a large multi-national corporation in 2017. Lance has financed and mentored several very successful start-ups and orchestrated numerous strategic business acquisitions. He has helped many individuals realize their dreams of owning, running and growing a successful business.

Business is easy if you have the right people and the right tools. Lance is exceptionally skilled at distilling complex business and financial details into easily communicated, understandable language, allowing owners to focus on what is most important.

In his spare time, Lance enjoys getting lost (he never gets lost) on long hikes in the forest and growing vegetables in his garden.
