Knowing Denis Vincent – An Entrepreneur with Many Credits

Entrepreneurs often see success in their products and profits. Success is never an ‘absolute’ term, because it can mean so many things at the same time. If you are a budding entrepreneur or businessman, you need to read the success story of Denis Vincent – a well-known Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist. Denis is known for his amazing journey, which is full of hiccups, exceptional hard work, and incredible twists. In this particular post, we will try to unleash the man behind this entrepreneur, and you can be assured of finding some awesome and inspiring ideas.

A humble start to a great career

Denis was very young when he decided to make his name in the world of business. Unlike many of his peers in the industry today, he was not born with a silver spoon. He knew that if he wanted to start his business, he would have to learn things from scratch. Denis began his career in 1983 with P.R.C.S. construction insulation. He worked with the company for a year, before moving to sales. For the next five years, he continued his job with Moto Bateau, where he learned many things about boat and motorcycle sales. He was also actively involved in aftermarket services. Denis knew that his career in sales could give him good exposure, and he chose to work in private. From 1989 to 1999, he focused on auto sales & word wide exportation, mainly in regions of Asia and Russia.

The love for flying

Denis Vincent knew that he wanted to do more than just sales. He started training as an airplane and helicopter pilot, since he was interested in aviation for a very long time. He has been flying since 1996. In 1997, he launched his company Heli Vincent Inc., which mainly deals in sales and leasing of helicopter and airplanes. He works as the president of the company and shifts his work between Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec. In many of his candid interviews, he has talked about his struggles with the company and how he has turned tables in just two decades. He has also expressed his interest in taking the business ahead, as aviation has incredible potential. Besides working, he loves to fly, and that’s his only indulgence. When he is not busy with projects, he likes to fly coast to coast in Canada and has over 14,000 TT to his credit.

Beyond aviation

In 2000, Denis started working on real estate development projects. He has been a strong force behind some of the major mergers and acquisitions. He still works for real estate, but with different interests. He is also the chief financial officer for Strong Arm Labour & Contracting. He has been working with the company since November 2011. Denis is also actively involved in charity and likes to pledge for many social causes.

With so much under his belt, it is hard to believe that he has no airs about his success. As he often says – "Let’s work more because there’s so much to do’.
