A leading Peterborough financial expert and business coach has been named Trent University’s CEO In Residence.
Bob Gauvreau, who founded Gauvreau Accounting Tax Law Advisory in 2008, is mentoring School of Business students this week at the university’s Peterborough campus before doing the same early in the new year at Trent’s Durham campus.
Having graduated from Trent in 2005, Gauvreau is thrilled for the opportunity to give back.
Gauvreau says had to pivot early on from plans to be a teacher, which he says taught him an important lesson that is timeless.
Gauvreau says its incumbent upon local business leaders to share their experiences and lessons learned with those starting out.
Gauvreau adds “we need to do better” in terms of Trent grads staying in Peterborough to being their careers.
