About me

Named President of Havas in Montréal in 2016 and then CEO of Havas Montréal in 2017, Jan-Nicolas Vanderveken is a prominent influencer and creator of links across the digital, advertising and creative worlds. With almost 20 years of experience in communication and marketing, Jan-Nicolas provides his multidisciplinary team with the creative framework they need to innovate, as well as strategic orientation based on his in-depth knowledge of technology, code, design, gaming and copy. Previously, he was President and Founding Partner of TP1, a full service digital agency in Montreal, Canada.


His commitment to improving the quality of digital as a whole and leveraging agile creativity extends to his activities as a conference speaker and board member (A2C - Association of Creative Communications Agencies, Belgium-Québec Board of Trade and, until recently, Digital Alliance). Jan-Nicolas is an involved leader in the digital community, contributing to the evolution of the industry through projects such as I see mtl, 15x15 and the Quebec delegation to SXSW. As a passionate member of the local arts community, he also actively supports or anchors organizations such as FTA and the St-Ambroise Fringe Festival, and is the instigator of Lunch Beat Montréal.


This bon vivant is also passionate about food and the Montreal restaurant scene. If you want to meet up with him, offer to introduce Jan-Nicolas to a new lunch place.
