Alain Boisvert

Entrepreneur & Former Auto Auction CEO

I come from an entrepreneurial family and got my start in the car business early in life, which laid the foundation for my journey as an auctioneer. In 2004, I launched an automotive auction business that grew steadily over the years. Seeking to innovate, I later acquired an online auction platform called Tradehelper, which expanded our reach and offered new opportunities to our customers and team. In 2021, I sold both companies to E INC, marking a major milestone in my career. Today, I manage an industrial real estate portfolio in Montreal, co-own a Volvo dealership in St-Agathe, and run a finance company that provides floorplans to new and used car dealerships across Quebec. While business has always been a big part of my life, nothing brings me more pride than my three incredible kids. All of them graduated from U.S. colleges and have charted impressive paths: Mathieu, my eldest, now runs ESP Auto Auction as General Manager; Arianne thrives in tech sales at Lightspeed; and Simon, after some time at 1Password, has joined me in the finance business. Outside of work, I’ve recently taken up golf and still love to fish—it’s a refreshing shift from the 25 years I spent stock car racing. I enjoy being helpful and engaged, and I’m truly glad to be part of the TIGER 21 community.
