Relevant Governance Experience
As President and CEO of the Laval Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCILaval), I work daily with a board of directors composed of leaders from various economic sectors. My role involves contributing to strategic discussions, risk management, organizational governance, and the development of public and private institutional partnerships.
I have also served on various committees and advisory groups related to economic development, innovation, entrepreneurship, and collective issues. These experiences have enabled me to develop a governance approach that is strategic, collaborative, and results-oriented.
Community, social, or sector-related involvement
My involvement is primarily focused on economic development, entrepreneurship, and collective issues that have a tangible impact on communities. Through my role at CCILaval, I regularly collaborate with community organizations, public institutions, businesses, and various stakeholders to support initiatives that benefit society.
I am also involved with Les Obliques (formerly Ferme Jeunes au Travail), an organization dedicated to social and professional integration. In addition, I currently serve as Honorary Chair of the 2026 Leucan Shaved Head Challenge for Greater Montreal.
Bringring to the Board
I bring extensive experience in governance, strategic management, and stakeholder engagement. Throughout my career, I have also developed a practical understanding of business realities, workplace dynamics, and the human challenges that affects them. I strongly believe in a pragmatic approach to prevention, rooted in education, personal responsibility, and collaboration among the business, institutional, and community sectors.
