Jim Flaherty / President/CEO

Jim has a passion for helping people, which has been the driver of his success in business for over two decades. He and his wife, Kari, became business owners of Allegra Marketing Print Mail in St. Paul in 2007 – winning multiple awards for growing their business from $280,000 to $2,000,000 in annual sales. They also helped pioneer the concept of adding an Image360 Graphic Signs Displays franchise to their Allegra operation. Jim and Kari successfully sold their businesses in 2017 and are excited to bring CORE Communications to Minneapolis-St. Paul. Jim is deeply involved in the community, sitting on several nonprofit boards. He served as King Boreas LXXX of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival – the youngest person so honored in the event’s 130+ year history!
