Gabriel Oliva

Gabriel Oliva sees strategy as a puzzle. Not a formula, not a template, not a deliverable but more like an assembly of pieces that need to be read carefully. He finds more often than not the real problem rarely reveals itself at first glance.

He holds degrees in Marketing from HEC Montréal and Industrial Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal, and brings nearly a decade of experience in strategic marketing, brand positioning, and corporate storytelling. Before Kairos, he spent close to five years at Cohésion Stratégies, working across a diverse range of brands and industries.

At Kairos, Gabriel co-builds with his clients. He's committed to the ideas, flexible on the method, and firmly believes that a good strategy should adapt to the real problem, not the other way around. When something complex lands on his desk, he reads, looks for cross-industry parallels, and doesn't wait for someone to come help. He dives in. His precision doesn't clock out at 5 PM.

An avid golfer who won his club championship in 2025, he applies the same mindset on the course as he does in strategy: he doesn't force the shot. He reads the momentum, and waits for the right moment to strike.
