OVHcloud

Event Manager at OVHcloud by day, my friends and family keep my head out of the clouds to plan all their special events when I’m not working. Marketing and event planning are my passions, I also bake a pretty mean macaron! With a Bachelor’s degree in business from HEC Montréal I’ve always worked in B2B marketing and tried to bring different ideas to life while sharing the tech industry through my eyes. After all, you can put glitter on anything!

I’m a seasoned technologically promiscuous janitor with a unique set of industry experiences in several key technology, communications, and business areas having the greatest impact on most organizations today. I have an overactive interest in data, practical technology applications, and their effects on human behavior, human society, and people’s interactions as they continue to change due to new technologies and communication mediums. I’m a dedicated father of two, an INTP, and have a long list of successful (and failed) projects in both individual contributor and leadership roles. I do not like chocolate.
