The University of Fredericton (UFred) is happy to congratulate EMBA alum Pierre-Marc Gervais on his recent appointment as President of Axxess International, a leading company in customs brokerage and international transport.
Following his tenure as Vice President, Pierre-Marc will be taking over the reins from his father, Richard Gervais, and is ready to lead the family business into its next exciting chapter. This significant step forward reflects Pierre-Marc’s strategic leadership, customer-focused approach, and innovative mindset.
For Pierre-Marc, this transition is about more than just a new title. As he puts it:
“This transition is deeply meaningful to me, as it represents the continuation of a family legacy that my father, Richard, and the previous generations have built with dedication. Stepping into the role of President at Axxess International is an opportunity to honor that heritage while leading the company into new growth and innovation. It’s about balancing respect for the values that have made us successful with a vision for the future that keeps our clients at the heart of everything we do.”
With years of experience in management and an EMBA from UFred, Pierre-Marc feels well-equipped to tackle this new role.
“My degree from the University of Fredericton equipped me with the strategic insights and leadership skills that are essential in my role as president. The EMBA program challenged me to think critically, adapt quickly, and develop a comprehensive understanding of business operations—all of which are vital as we navigate the evolving landscape of international trade and logistics. The knowledge I gained has been invaluable in shaping my approach to leading Axxess through this next chapter.”
With a bold vision to double the company’s size within five years, Pierre-Marc is poised to lead Axxess International into a new era of growth and innovation while staying true to the company’s core values of respect, expertise, commitment, and customer service.
