Professional and personal development
Born into a family of entrepreneurs, my talent as a businessman has led me to create and develop four professional services companies in sectors as varied as engineering, human resources and financial and administrative consulting. My involvement in the implementation of innovative management practices enabled one of these companies to win two prestigious awards: Best Employer and the Grand Prix québécois de la qualité.
I have coached over 300 executives in their development on topics such as executive posture, increasing influence and leadership, developing harmonious interpersonal relationships and developing entrepreneurship. My entrepreneurial profile often enables me to recognize the skills required for business success.
As a firm believer in the development potential of each individual, I have the ability to support the people I work with in realizing their vision. Thanks to a keen business sense, backed up by solid financial expertise, I’m able to take exchanges to another level. I enjoy working with people who are eager to learn, to achieve and to evolve; men and women who are humble enough to engage in the introspective exercises necessary for change. My favorite maxim: Let’s make things happen!
Why did I become an entrepreneur or manager?
Being in business wasn’t really an option in my family, my father had 4 different businesses with his brothers, so that’s why I became an entrepreneur, like Obelix in the pot.
Why am I a mentor?
On the eve of my retirement in 2022, I’ll have some time to offer to young entrepreneurs who are keen to develop. Give to the next!
The values that guide me
My actions are based on values of integrity, respect, commitment, generosity and an innate need to care for people.
My passions, my interests
As a musician in the 1970s, I’m still impressed by the talent, genius and great modesty of renowned artists such as Paul McCartney, Diana Krall, James Taylor and Gregory Charles. Humility, intelligence, dynamism, appreciation of excellence: these are the personality traits of these great artists, and they represent the qualities and skills possessed by many of the managers I work with on a daily basis. Other interests: biographical reading, cycling, golf, downhill skiing, and good wine with friends.
