I grew up in Quebec City speaking French as a first language. When I arrived at McGill to study engineering, I was confronted by a new city and a new language. McGill opened me up to the world. It taught me how to learn and prepared me to eventually attend Harvard Business School and to have a career in investment banking. McGill was a key turning point in my life. I am proud to serve on the Toronto Advisory Board, where I am working to increase awareness of the importance of philanthropy among graduates.
