Personal details
Political party	Équipe Denis Coderre

Manon Gauthier is a politician and administrator in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She has served on the Montreal city council since November 2013 as a member of the Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal party and is a member of mayor Denis Coderre's executive committee with responsibility for culture. She was previously the chief executive officer of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts from 2009 to 2013.

Gauthier holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Concordia University. She began her career in the arts and entertainment sector and later served as a vice-president of Weber Shandwick (2000–04) and as a senior vice-president of Cohn & Wolfe (2004–09).

Gauthier was recruited to serve as chief executive officer of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts by board chairperson Alvin Segal in autumn 2009. She has said that her primary responsibility was to take an organization "firmly and proudly" rooted in Montreal's Jewish community and make it a "multidisciplinary center, multilingual and open to the world." During this time, Gauthier also served as a board member of Culture Montreal and a member of the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards gala committee.

In December 2010, Gauthier was included in the Financial Post Magazine's listing of the one hundred most influential women in Canada. She resigned her position with the Segal Centre on June 1, 2013.
