Montreal-based business intelligence firm Nectari is entering a new phase of leadership as co-founder Greg Brown retires after 33 years, with Gareth Marks and Nicolas Trottier assuming critical executive positions. The leadership transition represents a strategic succession plan aimed at maintaining the company's global market presence and innovative approach to data management solutions.
Marks, previously Director of Business Development, has been promoted to Chief Revenue Officer, while Nicolas Trottier, a CPA with entrepreneurial experience, will serve as the new Chief Financial Officer. Both have been elevated to full Partner status alongside existing leadership, signaling a deliberate strategy of internal talent development.
The transition comes after Brown played a pivotal role in expanding Nectari's international footprint, helping the company establish partnerships with major enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms like Sage Software and Acumatica. The company has successfully grown its presence to over 60 countries during Brown's tenure.
Nicolas Trottier expressed commitment to building upon the company's legacy, stating he is eager to continue the vision established by his father and Brown. Similarly, Marks highlighted the opportunity to leverage the company's strong team, innovation pipeline, and partner network to drive future growth.
With this strategic leadership transition, Nectari demonstrates a forward-looking approach to executive succession, ensuring continuity while positioning the company for continued innovation in the competitive business intelligence market.
