Trained as a concert pianist, I thereafter collaborated for 15 years in the arts and culture sector as an artist manager, touring and producing works from dance, theatre and music, on the international stage, as well as filming and recording some of the most influential award-winning Canadian artists, including LA LA LA Human Steps, Rita MacNeil, Laurence Jalbert, Kâ (rock opera).

Following completion of my MBA, in a collaborative venture between public and private industries, I designed international conferences highlightening leading authors on the managerial trends of the 1990’s. From there, I co-founded and managed the growth of an international consulting firm, Groupe Forest, establishing offices in Canada and France. For more than 20 years, as Vice president I developed high-performance, multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams and built partnerships to service both SMB and multinational companies. Within five years on the European market, our firm occupied a niche position working with more than 50% of the companies listed on the CAC-40 Paris Stock Exchange.

Up to date with the latest managerial trends, I aim to accompany with finesse, leaders and teams to embrace current issues and build sustainable growth in their organization.

As practicienner & coach, I have always work on the international scene and am known as someone who brings the right blend of visionary thinking, number crunching, creativity and people skills.
