I am one of the rare breed of fully bilingual Anglophones that lives in Quebec City (yes, they do exist). For the past 16 years, I have helped Quebec companies drive their expansion into English-speaking and international markets. Using my well-sharpened gumption and thanks to my type E (entrepreneurial) blood, I left a high-profile job to start my own company. Since then, I have never looked back.

• I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from the Université de Sherbrooke.
• I have held several management positions in communications, marketing, and sales—for both SMEs and large corporations.
• I lived through the euphoria of the dot-com era, helping to start a business in a kitchen with two buddies. That company is now on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
• I became general manager of a software company, managing 50 people, at the age of 28.
