Mr. Darveau-Garneau is a former Google executive, where he worked 11 years and most recently served as Chief Evangelist, overseeing the global team responsible for advising and working with executives at Google’s top advertisers, helping them improve their global digital strategy through the creation of many innovative digital marketing best practices that leverage data and AI technology.

(TSX: IAG).“In my 30 years working in the enterprise technology industry, I have never met someone as strategic and knowledgeable as Nicolas Darveau when it comes to digital innovation in business.” said Louis Têtu, Chairman and CEO of Coveo. “We believe we are barely scratching the surface on all the possibilities that AI-powered relevance has to offer, Nicolas will be a highly valuable colleague to help architect our growth journey. I could not be more proud to have him join our executive leadership team.”

“I’m thrilled to join the great team at Coveo.” said Nicolas Darveau-Garneau. “Having met with more than a thousand C-level executives in the last three years, I can say confidently that one of their top issues is to reinvent their customer experience to be more digital, more relevant and more personalized. Coveo’s platform can significantly accelerate that transformation and I believe Coveo is poised for significant success.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
