Jacques Bertrand, Eng.

Adam is a product driven engineering manager who takes the time to coach and mentor engineers. During the last two years, he has guided me to think out of the box when trying to solve complex engineering problems on the EFB and AIS product lines. He's always available to get his hands dirty and is constantly leaning about new technologies. A true coach on and off the ice!
