About Gord
Builder. Dreamer. Doer.
Gord Erickson has never been one to follow a straight line. With roots in Western Canada, he’s spent the past three decades building businesses that defy convention—whether it’s reimagining hospitality experiences, developing residential communities in Mexico, or launching one of the only Canadian-owned tequila brands.
Gord’s strength lies in taking raw, ambitious ideas and turning them into vibrant, profitable realities. He's the founder of The Sueño Company, a group of 16+ businesses across Canada and Mexico, each connected by creativity, culture, and a relentless focus on the guest experience.
But Gord isn’t your typical executive. He’s the guy who walks a construction site with the same energy he brings to a product tasting. He’s deeply hands-on—not just in the boardroom, but in the kitchen, behind the bar, and on the sales floor—always listening, always learning, and always pushing ideas forward. His ability to spot potential where others don’t has led to a career defined by bold moves and boundary-pushing projects.
Whether he’s restoring a historic building, creating a new liquor retail concept, designing a tequila that reflects true cross-border values, or developing a community of homes in coastal Mexico, Gord leads with vision, instinct, and a passion for building things that last.
He believes that the best businesses aren’t built on spreadsheets—they’re built on stories, experiences, and people. And with every new venture, he’s writing a chapter that blends entrepreneurial grit with creative heart.
As The Sueño Company continues to grow, Gord remains focused on what matters most: great partnerships, unforgettable brands, and building a legacy that’s as meaningful as it is profitable.
Business Should Be Personal.
Gord’s approach to business isn’t based on spreadsheets—it’s rooted in people, place, and purpose. Every project starts with one question: How can we make this an experience people remember?
