Patrick Dovigi, founder and CEO of GFL Environmental, has been active in corporate strategy and expansion. In January 2026, he announced the relocation of GFL's executive headquarters from Vaughan, Ontario, to Miami Beach, Florida, citing the potential for inclusion in U.S. indices and access to new capital pools. He stated that the move would affect only 12 to 15 corporate executives and that the company's Canadian workforce of over 10,000 would remain unchanged. In April 2026, GFL entered a definitive agreement to acquire SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp. for an enterprise value of approximately $6.4 billion. Dovigi described the acquisition as highly accretive and strategically significant for expanding GFL's footprint in Western Canada, noting SECURE's post-collection asset network and high free cash flow conversion. On the Q1 2026 earnings call, he reiterated expectations that Western Canada would be a growth engine and emphasized the company's focus on prudent financial decisions and shareholder value. Dovigi has also addressed financial and operational topics in media appearances. In February 2025, he anticipated active share buybacks following the sale of a majority stake in GFL's environmental services unit, stating the company would be an active buyer in the market. He has reflected on the company's 2020 IPO during volatile market conditions, noting that GFL completed the listing despite market turmoil. In earlier appearances, he discussed the pandemic's impact on volumes and the company's acquisition strategy, describing the business as "recession resilient."
