Larive has paved the way for organisations to thrive in emerging markets
From founding visionary to passionate global business developers
In the year 1975, Joan Larive embarked on a pioneering mission. Engaged by the Algemene Bank Nederland (predecessor of ABN AMRO), he sought to obtain a banking license in Japan. Faced with regulatory, language, and cultural challenges, he envisioned a unique approach. Joan assembled a team of local experts from the financial sector, birthing our innovative business concept: A franchise based model managed by local entrepeneurs deeply rooted in their countries.
Today, the Larive Group spans over 25 countries in Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, and Sub-Saharan Africa. With over 300 passionate strategic business development experts, we are at the forefront of guiding Western-headquartered companies to success in emerging markets.
