About
Jean Laporte
Jean spent his early career inside three of the companies most executives study from the outside. Vice President at Apple Canada. National Vice President of Sales at Fido. President of Rogers Communications' Eastern Canada division. Years spent in rooms where the decisions were large, the stakes were real, and the isolation that comes with that level of responsibility was something he lived, not something he later read about.
By the time he left the corner office, he'd noticed the same gap repeating itself at every level of seniority he passed through. Executives had no shortage of people advising them, direct reports, boards, consultants, peers at industry events. What they didn't have was someone whose only job was to help them think, with nothing to sell and no stake in which way the decision went.

That gap became Groupe Laporte.
How Jean Works
Independent judgment
Experience over frameworks
Confidentiality
He's a Master Corporate Executive Coach through ACEC, a designation built around the judgment and rigor of executive-level coaching specifically, not general life or business coaching. He trained at Harvard and Columbia, and has been a YPO Gold member for twenty-two years. In 2009, he published Laporte de la réussite, which has since sold more than 1,500 copies. None of that is the reason to work with him. It's the reason he was in the room long enough, on both sides of the table, to notice what actually helps.
Jean works within Groupe Laporte, a small practice built around this kind of relationship, not around scale. Meet the team →
