About Me
Professionally
As a visionary leader with a career deeply rooted in client-facing roles, I bring a strategic and innovative approach to management. I firmly believe that keeping all stakeholders, both external and internal, top of mind is essential for successful projects and thriving businesses.
Dedicated to continuous self-improvement, I strive to better serve my teams and clients, ensuring the delivery of world-class impact. My ability to swiftly learn and implement new technologies enhances our productivity and efficiency, driving us towards excellence.
With experience across various industries on projects and programs of all sizes, I consistently leverage technology to work smarter, not harder. This philosophy has enabled me to achieve significant efficiency improvements in every role, showcasing my competence and forward-thinking leadership.
Personally
As a devoted father of two wonderful kids and a loving husband to an amazing wife, I prioritize providing a good life for my family. My experiences with a neurodivergent wife and children have deepened my understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives, making me a more patient, caring, and inclusive person.
My professional journey in operations and project management has equipped me with skills that I apply both at work and home.
In my spare time, I relish spending moments with my family, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, connecting with friends, or unwinding with a good show or video game. Balancing work and life is essential to me, and I strive to live fully and meaningfully, ensuring that every action contributes to our well-being and happiness.
What I Do
Testimonials
I've worked alongside Jean-Guy at Citibank and Canada Life and he's always been a team player who learns the ins and outs of the organization quickly and efficiently. He's tech savvy and pays very close attention to detail which is extremely useful when dealing with multiple financial products that can be complicated. Whatever the task or project might be Jean-Guy is always excited to learn about what needs to be done and creative enough to provide and execute solutions.
I had the pleasure of working directly with Jean-Guy on multiple projects as the Legal Suite Trainer for the North American region. Jean-Guy is clearly an experienced Project Manager with a heightened sense of empathy, pragmatism, and professionalism. He offered our clients his expertise not only in leveraging technological solutions but was instrumental in guiding them through implementation and organizational changes to ensure their long-term. It is clear to me Jean-Guy is a talented individual across many fields and knows well how to identify with the client and their challenges for best solutions. I am glad to recommend Jean-Guy as an outstanding addition and influencer to any team
