Having participated on various boards for several years as an independent director, shareholder representative, and CEO, I have come to the conclusion that this function has become a profession, and that the experience to it only, although primordial, is not enough. The industry is beginning to recognize this fact.
In 2009, I enrolled in the Institute of Corporate Directors certification program offered by Rothman and McGill Universities and obtained ICD.D certification.

Having served as Chief Executive Officer (Triton and CRIM), Shareholder Representative (SOVO), and also as Independent Director (MEC, Notarius), I understand the psychological differences between, for example, an entrepreneur, a manager institutional background, or an executive. This expertise brings me quickly to a relationship of trust, an essential condition for the proper functioning of a council.
