ABOUT US and OUR CLIENTS
Our name stems from the musical term, “syncopate,” which means “off-the-beat,” an apt description of how we think and work. Our approach blends the best thinking found in traditional professional services with the uncommon creativity that permeates the arts. Our team members have achieved success in multiple disciplines and thus bring a distinctive perspective that ventures beyond conventional consulting. What draws us together is a unified passion and purpose to challenge the status quo of “what is” . . . and envision "what could be.”
Similarly, our clients are progressive, innovative, and unrelenting in demanding excellence. They appreciate the changing nature of professional services firms and seek to differentiate themselves. They gravitate towards the use of technology to provide their clients with consistent advice. And they recognize the power of communication to deepen relationships and deliver meaningful and memorable client experiences.
“We are founded on the principle that everyone should unlock all aspects of their creative expression.”
Our Story
Steve Pappaterra and Valerie Gay met more than 20 years ago while working at PNC Private Bank. Steve had left the practice of law and was director of estate planning. Val was a portfolio manager and (unofficial) techno wunderkind, having built a custom CRM system using Microsoft Access. They soon found that their musical backgrounds and fascination with presenting and performance led to ongoing creative ventures and a friendship that inexorably led to their founding of Syncopate Creative.
Steve and Val began assembling a team of highly-successful professionals who combined impeccable credentials, multi-faceted experience, and diverse backgrounds ranging from executive leadership to artistic direction and performance. Like its founders, members of Syncopate Creative are on a mission to unlock individual and organizational potential and “Banish Boring” from business thought and presentations.
