Our Team

Company Overview

  • Dove Innovation Group operates as a startup studio and company builder, transforming in-house concepts into revenue-producing businesses. Unlike traditional consultants, we don’t just advise—we launch, fund, and scale ventures with our own teams, proven methods, and proprietary systems. For more than 45 years, Dove has built companies across logistics, SaaS, media, and marketing that deliver practical innovation, sustainable growth, and measurable returns.

  • Most consultants offer advice—Dove builds companies. We combine hands-on entrepreneurial experience with diverse industry expertise in logistics, technology, finance, and digital marketing. Our team provides both strategic vision and operational execution, applying decades of lessons learned to reduce risk, validate opportunities, and accelerate growth. This unique approach sets us apart in the venture-building landscape.

  • Dove Innovation Group is the operating name for Dove Management Consulting Inc.

  • We are headquartered in British Columbia, Canada, with operations and portfolio companies across North America and Europe.

  • The Dove Innovation story began in 1979 with the creation of our anchor company, SPI Logistics. The group was formalized in 1989 and has been building and scaling businesses ever since.

The Problem and Opportunity

  • Many startups and growth-stage companies struggle when:

    • Outsourcing critical functions like sales, project management, or marketing to too many vendors

    • Juggling software tools that don’t integrate or scale

    • Losing efficiency from fragmented systems and complex vendor management

    Dove solves these challenges by bringing all core functions in-house—management, systems, and marketing—ensuring speed, control, and measurable growth.

Our Solution

  • Dove Innovation Group builds and scales businesses in-house. Our specialties include:

    • Business Management: Hands-on leadership and growth planning

    • Systems Development: SaaS, iPaaS, and enterprise-ready technology platforms

    • Digital Marketing: AI-driven customer acquisition, SEO, and multi-channel campaigns

    By controlling these functions internally, we maintain quality, efficiency, and scalability, creating attractive opportunities for investors seeking exposure to proven, revenue-generating ventures.

  • Portfolio companies benefit from:

    • Hands-on expertise: Applied directly by Dove’s professional team

    • Integrated services: Management, marketing, and technology under one roof

    • Proven success: SPI Logistics ($315M in 2025), Tailwind Transportation Software (acquired by WiseTech Global), plus media and SaaS ventures with global reach

    • Global perspective: Operations across North America and Europe

    • Experienced leadership: 45+ years of building profitable, scalable ventures

  • We provide end-to-end support including business strategy, operational optimization, digital marketing, and custom software development. Startups gain a one-stop partner to move faster, scale smarter, and reach profitability with fewer risks.

    • Transportation & Logistics: Founders and majority owners of SPI Logistics ($315M+ in 2025). Creators of Tailwind TMS (700+ freight offices, $3M annual revenue before acquisition)

    • Software Development: SaaS and iPaaS platforms that scale globally, tapping into a SaaS market projected to reach US $1.016T by 2032.

    • Media & Entertainment: ExpoFlamenco, a global media company with 1.2M+ followers, plus a SaaS musicians’ portal in development.
