“Eloi has the know-how to develop the most sophisticated of strategies
and follow through on their execution”
My Story
Fifteen years of professional experience now under the belt. Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs is where it started. But I quickly set aside a diplomatic career to dive head first into the communications and public relations fields.
Ensued a 7-year journey through four consulting firms, from multinationals to local boutique agencies. Terrific mentors, colleagues and clients lined the way, helping me learn the trade and grow my skills. At age 31, I was named Director, corporate communications at Cossette (Canada’s premier integrated communications firm).
In 2008, Quebec’s largest university health network asked me to lead its brand new communications service. Four years later, the entrepreneurial adventure beckoned. I set up my own practice in early 2012. Best decision ever.
On the personal front, I’m the proud husband of a determined lawyer and father to two strong girls. As for community involvement, I’m one of the Governors of Fraser Hickson, an organization that’s been encouraging literacy in Montreal for the past 130 years, and the president of the foundation of my children’s school, Saint-Léon-de-Westmount.
These directorships, my practice, my clients, they continuously make me a better consultant. Throughout the years, I’ve also kept honing my skills off the pitch through readings, workshops, courses and conferences. Favorite topics include communications theory and techniques (naturally), social psychology, marketing, management and entrepreneurship. We can always get better, so I never stop learning.
