Professionally, I aim to work for organizations with innovative visions that seek to have a positive impact on their environment. I am experienced at managing business transitions in complex organizational settings and inspiring people to get on board. I achieve these goals through structured strategic planning, clear communication, and straight forward operational and business management practices that promote teamwork and achieve results. My recent achievements have included leading the design and execution of a four season development plan and commercial strategy that evolved a local ski area into a provincial destination. Working together with a team of talented and passionate ski professionals, I spearheaded the development and commercialization of a unique set of winter and summer activities that allowed the organization to grow the customer base coming from outside the region from 40% to 60% as well as achieve 15% annual growth in attendance. I also led the implementation of new technology and dynamic pricing reservation systems as well as crafted the overhaul of the company's branding, website, and marketing strategy. Finally, I also led the implementation of new HR structures and operational procedures to increase efficiency and safety across all departments. These measures allowed us to win the prestigious award for Innovation in Safety and a special mention for Excellence in Customer Service at the 2023 gala of the Quebec Ski Station Association (ASSQ). This success allowed me to be elected as a member of the ASSQ's board of administration in the fall of 2023.
