J'ai travaillé sous la supervision directe de Michel pendant 5 ans chez Desjardins. Cette période fut fort stimulante et enrichissante pour moi. Michel m’a témoigné beaucoup de confiance dans mes différents mandats et m'a accordé toute la latitude requise dans mon travail. De plus, il a su être à mon écoute et me transmettre du feedback en temps opportun. Son approche de gestion m’a amenée à constamment donner le meilleur de moi-même. En effet, la complicité que nous avons développée m'a permis de me démarquer dans mon travail et d'exceller. Michel est un gestionnaire et un communicateur hors pair, qui sait mobiliser son équipe. Il fait preuve d'un leadership naturel et j’ai beaucoup appris à son contact. J’accepterais sans hésitation un poste qui me permettrait de travailler de nouveau avec lui.

Michel and I have been colleagues on the same management team for a few years at Desjardins. He has always impressed me as a top strategic thinker and a strong, result-oriented manager with a proven ability to lead change and drive employee engagement upwards. Michel is also one the very few people I know who possesses advanced skills in both finance and risk management, a rare combination and powerful toolkit for any financial institution.
