5x Founder | Acquirer | Entrepreneur
Josh Davis is a 5x founder, business acquirer, and turnaround expert
with multiple exits—including to a U.S. private equity–backed firm.
Known for scaling underperforming companies fast, Josh blends grit,
faith, and operational excellence to help founders grow with clarity and purpose. As Co-Founder and CEO, he built one of Canada’s fastest-growing logistics startups—scaling it from the ground up before it was acquired by one of North America’s largest transportation companies just three years after launch.
Today, he runs JL Davis Enterprises alongside his wife Loretta, acquiring businesses and consulting founders on how to scale, build high-performance teams, and prepare for exit. Grounded in faith and family values, Josh brings a no-fluff, people-first approach to business. He’s been named one of Canada’s Top 40 Under 40—and believes true success means building a business that serves your life, not the other way around.
