Alexandre had a few careers before founding A5 Hospitality, from going around with the hat at age of three to collect money after his parents did their street bustling acts as jugglers and acrobats all the way to trading commodity for 7 years, and working the bars and restaurants to pay for university somewhere in the middle.
Perhaps this eclectic background laid the foundation to becoming a serial entrepreneur and today creator and operator of some of Montreal’s best-recognized brands in food and beverage industry.
With 20 years of experience behind him, Alexandre strives to innovate, always pushing forward. With his inscrutable creative eye and a dedication to collective and collaborative work, him and his team are leading the way in building immersive, story-telling brands—with no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
After studying criminology for two years at Université de Montréal, Patrick worked in various fields, including security, operations, and high-volume restaurant & bar management. In 2005, he invested all his savings to open a bar and create A5 Hospitality – a company that has grown consistently since its inception. Always highly disciplined, Patrick was among Canada’s top 10 swimmers in 1992-93, and sports continue to be a major part of his life. He trains regularly for various triathlons, has so far completed two half-Ironman races, and his pursuing his goal to compete at an international level. Highly gifted for interpersonal relations, Patrick is directly involved in staff management. This intense and passionate businessman is proud of the efforts he’s invested in building a major food and beverage success story.
