As Regional Director for the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area, I am responsible for the overall development and quality of Axelys’ services in my local ecosystem. My role is to make researchers aware of the value held by their research results, to accelerate and facilitate the identification of promising projects, and to generate business opportunities. Through my actions and my passion for innovation, I hope to make a difference by creating value for both my region and Québec as a whole.

As Regional Director for the Abitibi-Témiscamingue / Nord-du-Québec region, I am charged with the overall development of my local ecosystem. My role is to raise awareness, accelerate and facilitate the identification of promising projects and generate business opportunities. Strongly rooted in my community and open to my ecosystem partners, I’m motivated to support the growth and deployment of innovative research-based solutions, and to contribute to the development of communities in my region and across Québec.

As Regional Director of the Rimouski / Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie territories, I identify the most promising research results to transform ideas into innovations for Québec society. I take part in the regional innovation ecosystem to accelerate networking with businesses, the potential receptors of innovation. Anchored in my home region of Lower Saint-Lawrence and inspired by the Saint-Lawrence River on a daily basis, I work with the entire Axelys team to ensure that my areas are involved in the most innovative projects for Québec society.

As Southern Quebec Regional Director, I act as a liaison officer for the area, ensuring that our services are properly deployed at research establishments and companies in my region. Making sure to understand the innovation needs of companies, I then examine how public research can meet them. And because it is crucial that Axelys be influential in my local ecosystem, I take an active part in supporting innovation to maximize its impact for the benefit of Québec society.

As an Administrative Coordinator of Entrepreneurship and Scientific Partnerships, my job is to coordinate administrative activities in order to close the gap between scientific research and its practical application, by facilitating the trajectory of researchers who become entrepreneurs or between researchers and entrepreneurs who are already established. At Axelys, I help to create opportunities for knowledge transfer and commercialization of new technologies, which not only stimulates economic growth, but also improves the quality of life of Québec citizens.
