Founder & CEO Stephan Fortier is a highly driven and passionate renaissance man who combines his love for lm, fashion, design and food with savvy business acumen and entrepreneurial edge to continuously bring his inspired visions to life. With 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, he launched over 30 start ups in various industries including a fashion magazine (Ocean Drive Canada), a fashion line of custom sandals (Tuccia Di Capri Miami-NYC), modeling, talent & advertising agencies (Talent Corp.), and 21 restaurants/lounges/clubs in NYC, Miami, LA, & Montreal. These ventures included some of the most acclaimed concepts in the US, such as the famed Maison D’Azur Miami, Loft NYC, Tosca Miami, Pazza Notte in NYC, and The Altitude 737 Montreal.
As an innovative entrepreneur, designer, restaurateur and lmmaker, Fortier - who graduated from the New York Film Academy at Universal Studios Hollywood - sees the world through a camera lens with every new project as a cinematic production of wonder. To each venture he brings
his well-rounded nancial scholastics, boasting a Bachelor’s in Accounting from The University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM), and also studied the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), and Fellowship of the Canadian Security Institute (FCSI) courses. Some might argue that Fortier was a business prodigy since at the age of 19, while still pursuing his Bachelors, he opened his rst restaurant.
Nowadays, Fortier enjoys being on the other side of the operations as a sought out creative consultant. His new venture, The Fortier Creative Group, incorporates several divisions that allow him to touch upon all of his passions; interior design, restaurant & fashion concepts, print and video campaigns, fashion & lifestyle magazines, feature lms, public relations, image making, business start-ups and real estate. When Fortier is not dreaming up his next production, he can be found spending time with his sons Beck & Kaj.
