PARTNER, EXECUTIVE STRATEGY

Shawn Gibson
P.Eng., PCC, ACTC

I am a former senior executive turned strategist with experience building business and high performing teams in startups, technology, and multinational manufacturing organizations. I enjoy the challenges of building business, value for customers and have a strong focus on team performance, continuous learning and innovation. In my experience, I’ve seen that leadership teams often have aspects of their business strategy figured out and need support to fulfill their entire vision. 

I know firsthand the power of coaching and the positive impact of a high trust coaching relationship. Throughout my career, coaching has been a common thread to achieve impactful results in sometimes extraordinarily difficult circumstances. I am passionate about helping other executives and founders lead with intention to strengthen their organizations. I am a results-focused individual and I like work to be fulfilling and fun – a mindset I want to share with other leaders and their teams.

Outside of work, I am eager for adventures in the mountains with family and friends – anywhere with a trail, snow or water. I wholeheartedly embrace family life with my wife and two amazing daughters.

In 2023, Shawn was named Leadership Development Coach of the Year by CEO Today, following his receipt of the prestigious SupportHER Award from The Universal Women's Network™ in 2022 for his dedication to advancing women's empowerment and equality. Since Shawn became Partner, Incito has also achieved notable recognition, including the Best Leadership Coaching Firm awarded by Acquisition International - Global Excellence Awards in April 2023.

Shawn is passionate about helping executives and founders lead with intention to strengthen their organizations and scale-up. He leads Incito’s strategic partnership with Mount Royal University's Growth Catalyst Program to support over 105 businesses and empower more than 300 entrepreneurs and leaders. Shawn also serves as a volunteer mentor for Venture Mentoring Service of Alberta to support high growth businesses in the community.
