Entrepreneur, author and communications strategist Andre Beaupre has worked closely with hundreds of founders and C-suite leaders of B2B companies, venture-backed startups, and privately held corporations, helping them increase purpose, credibility, and valuation. Nearly 50 of his clients were acquired in successful M&A deals by such industry giants as IBM, Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft, HP, Verizon, Symantec, Canon, Saint-Gobain, Computer Associates, Lucent and Dassault Systemes.
He is the co-founder of Soulful Advantage, a strategic consultancy intersecting purpose and profit. The firm helps businesses authentically expand social impact, increase stakeholder support, gain competitive advantage and meaningfully communicate purpose.
Andre is the author of The Purposeful Nine and Soulful Advantage, which tells the stories of nine inspiring founders, CEOs and sustainability leaders who share why they became more purposeful, what they did and how it created remarkable competitive advantage. Unlike the majority of books focused on large consumer and B2B companies and well known brands, the book spotlights a fresh, diverse group of successful organizations that have been authentically purposeful for decades.
