Louis-Jacques Darveau

Fleeing life as a lawyer and then corporate fixer, Louis-Jacques was profoundly inspired by Nassim Taleb’s concept of antifragility, in which things only gain strength as they absorb shock and stress.

With no experience in publishing, he and co-editor Patrick Tanguay improvised their way towards a magazine, The Alpine Review, turning a frenzy of interconnected ideas and questions into something that is equal parts beautiful, intelligent and vital.

Louis-Jacques is now a strategy executive who brings vision and leadership to organisations at a strategic turning point. A strategic Swiss Army Knife, he can quickly mobilize to provide a new angle of vision, help uncover new opportunities or fix a complicated problem.
