About me

Hello, welcome to my personal biography. It’s the perfect place to show you who I am as an individual, because for me, human relationships are the things to prioritize during our short stay on the planet. I don’t need more things in my life, I’m more interested in experiencing things with like-minded people.

Who am I? Imagine the young boy who neglected sports, preferring to read the business section of the newspaper on weekends. Imagine the kid who taught RRSPs to customs officers at the Montreal airport during lunch hour. Imagine the young person who found himself so introverted, reading leadership books to discover what people who have achieved success in their lives have in common. Imagine the young person who took the decision to step out of his comfort zone and accepted positions that allowed him to practice his ability to become an excellent speaker in the investment world for 16 consecutive years.

Family, friends and business relationships are the subjects that motivate me to perfect my skills on a daily basis. Rest assured that I’m a financial news, economy, stock market and geopolitics junkie. Like everyone else, I enjoy travel, good food, music and cinema, as these activities are therapeutic for my happiness and quality of life. I’m not an athlete, but I like to move as much as possible in the sports that interest my daughter.
