Henley Strategies takes its name from the prestigious Royal Canadian Henley Rowing Regatta held each summer in Port Dalhousie, Niagara—a place deeply rooted in the firm’s origin story. Founded by Niagara-native Laryssa Waler, Henley Strategies reflects a philosophy grounded in discipline, precision, and momentum.

Rowing, like strategic communications and public affairs, is a pursuit where success depends on more than strength alone. It requires focus, timing, trust, and seamless coordination. Every move is calculated, and every action contributes to a larger goal. This belief—that strategy and performance must move in lockstep—is foundational to the firm’s approach.

Henley Strategies brings this ethos to every mandate. The firm operates with clarity and intention, aligning with our clients' pace, priorities, and ambitions. Relationships are central. Results are non-negotiable. Like a well-coordinated crew, the Henley team drives progress through insight, agility, and execution.

The name “Henley” is more than a nod to heritage—it is a guiding principle. It reflects how our firm thinks, how it works, and how it helps clients win.
