Today, as VP Development and Operations at Propulsion Québec, he puts his expertise at the service of the economic development of the transportation electrification sector. Convinced that his work should have a positive impact on society, it was only natural for him to get involved in coaching cleantech startups.

His academic background in science, combined with his innate business acumen, has enabled many university technologies to be brought to market.
