We assist with governance development, policy modernization, leadership capacity building, project and change management, operational restructuring, and interim executive support, tailored specifically to Indigenous priorities and realities. We work alongside Chiefs and Councils, boards, staff, Elders, and community members to ensure our work reflects community values and long-term goals.

Committed to supporting Indigenous-led visions.

Economic development is a key driver of Nation rebuilding and community well-being. We support development corporations, limited partnerships, and joint ventures with business planning, risk assessment, restructuring, governance support, and alignment with community mandates.

Our experience spans land and marine stewardship, aquaculture, fisheries, housing, infrastructure, health, social services, and corporate governance. We understand how administration, politics, stewardship, and service delivery intersect, and we help leaders navigate these intersections with clarity.

What They Say…

Working with Katie and Maddy at KEH Consulting is a treat. Their level of commitment to getting the details right in every document and in every meeting is remarkable. Knowing we can trust the documents and the background work facilitates the board's ability to make confident, bold decisions. I highly recommend KEH Consulting to any organization looking to elevate the quality of their strategic decision-making and execution.

During the tenure of Katie Hooper as Executive Director and Maddy Coxford as Director of Operations, Esquimalt Nation experienced unprecedented growth in governance, infrastructure, and economic development. Their strategic leadership and financial expertise secured multimillion-dollar grants, enabling the construction of a new Health Centre, seven new townhouses, and the successful application for an additional 52-unit apartment building to address critical housing needs.
