Founder & CEO, eeva · Québec's Young Executive of the Year · Montréal
I've done one thing my whole career, in a lot of different rooms: take the tangled, invisible work that keeps organizations and households running, and make it disappear.
I'm the co-founder and CEO of eeva, a household intelligence platform: the technology that runs the household logistics most people are quietly drowning in. In four years I've taken it from a concept to a funded company: a 15-person remote team and $4M+ raised.
Before eeva, a decade in operational leadership across nonprofits, associations, and industry. I'm the person who walks into an organization and builds the machinery it's been missing.
I think in systems and I have very little patience for complexity that exists to make someone look clever. If something's hard to understand, I read that as a design failure, not a you-failure.
I'm competitive, I notice patterns early, and I've stopped pretending I should be embarrassed by either. What you get is candor, momentum, and a real allergy to meetings that should have been a decision.
The longer version →Every extra step, every confusing screen, every "just deal with it" is a cost someone quietly pays. My whole job is lowering that bill.
We've spent decades making the office smarter. The invisible work of running a life deserves the same seriousness, and the same technology.
Vision is cheap and everywhere. I care about the people who turn it into something that ships, works, and survives contact with reality.
Directness isn't rudeness. I'll tell you what I think, quickly, and I'll do it because I want us both to win. Those two things were never in tension.

Mostly about what it takes to build and lead a company, and how the environment and values you set shape everything that follows. And, now and then, whatever else I feel strongly about. When I have something to say, not on a schedule.
The 2025–2026 budget repackages old tools. Startups don't need better packaging. They need bold moves.
Startups are built on passion but they thrive on hard decisions. Here's the side you don't always see.
