How Patrick helps us work together to build a better working world
Over the past 20 years, spurred by his passion for innovation and entrepreneurship, Patrick has built deep experience in business management, private investment and tax incentives that he shares with startups and well-established businesses alike.
He develops lasting relationships with business leaders, who respect him and welcome his insights based on his reputation as an entrepreneur and his knowledge of tax incentives and work organization.
“One of my aims is to challenge the ideas and preconceptions that have shaped entrepreneurship in Québec to help businesses explore new paradigms and, above all, understand what they need to change to create value.”
