Denise Koster has worked in the area of violence and harassment since 1985. In response to the tragic murder of an elderly client Denise founded Koster Consulting & Associates in 1994.

Denise investigates person to person and cyber harassment (a form of harassment using electronic forms of contact) cases focusing on both internal and external perpetrators including anonymous correspondence. As a Certified Threat Manager, and graduate of the world-renowned Gavin Debeckers’ Threat Assessment and Management Academy, Denise provides workplaces with customized threat assessment and management plans.

Denise is a contributor to Lawyer Daily, Talent Canada and was recently featured in the Ottawa and Toronto Sun article: “Home Workplaces: A Battle Zone for Bullying”. In addition, Denise was a guest on the on-line Ontario Employment Law Show Fire Away with Stuart Rudner, Australia’s Managing Violence Podcast with Joe Saunders and the Who I Became Podcast with Greater Minneapolis Risk & Compliance Leader Simon Osamoh and Alberta's Andrea Adam HR TalkShop .
