Bio
Marie-Pierre Lussier, PMP
I had the pleasure of working with Mario at LifeLabs for a few years, as a peer on the CML/BC Bio Integration Program. Despite having very different responsibilities, we collaborated regularly to ensure the redevelopment efforts were aligned with the program’s communication and strategic objectives. Mario is a great team player, critical and strategic thinker and excellent communicator. I have no doubt he will continue to shine in his future endeavors.
Karolina Korelin
Mario is an outgoing and talented professional. I worked along-side Mario for a few years at LifeLabs, and although we were not on the same teams/departments, our paths did continuously cross, which was always a pleasure. His foresight, and planning skills were always present, no matter how large or small the task - as was his character and thoughtfulness. I would recommend Mario to be part of any successful team.
