When thinking differently becomes a competitive advantage. 

From an early age, Nicolas Gauvin has had a natural talent for bringing people together, inspiring them, and leading with purpose. An adventurer at heart — passionate about sports and travel — he constantly pushes boundaries to reach new heights, both personally and professionally. 

Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, he pursued a background in international business and finance before becoming shareholder and managing director of several companies in the entertainment industry. In 2009, driven by his passion for facilitation and business strategy, he followed in his father’s footsteps and became a keynote speaker and strategic thinking facilitator. 

As a partner at DPI, Nicolas has spent over a decade supporting companies across Canada, the United States, and Europe in crafting bold strategies and achieving growth objectives. Among his clients are well-known names such as Artopex, Canac, Caterpillar, Champeau, Eurogentec, Fruit d’Or, Lepage Millwork, Morneau, Ropack, Sykes, 3M, and many others. 

Recognized for his ability to ignite collective intelligence and guide teams toward powerful strategic decisions, Nicolas constantly innovates in his approach. The result: strategies that are clear, aligned, inspiring — capable of rewriting the rules and propelling organizations toward sustainable, high-value growth. 

Author of the book “Réflexion Stratégique – Pure et Simple” and founder of the magazine “Le Stratégiste”, he became managing partner of DPI Canada in 2014.
