There was no single "ruler" of Gaul until after Ceasar invaded. In fact, much of his victory is due to the fact that he was able to play one Gaulish cheiftan against the others. There was really only one ruler of Gaul, a man who was able to unite the tribes against Rome. Vercingvetorix. After his defeat, Gaul was ruled by Roman Governors, and, through them, by the Roman Emperors.

Vercingetorix
(vûr´´sĭnjĕt´rĭks) , d. 46 , leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.

Depends on which Gaul you mean. If you are referring to pre-roman Gaul, then the answer is not known. That period of the culture was dominated by tribal leaders. In actuallity there would have been a number of "first" leaders. If you are referring to Roman Gaul, then it would be Julius Ceasar as he conquered the region.
