What I'm looking for

Bilingual content strategist (FR/EN) looking for a remote senior role in a French-speaking or bilingual environment where great content truly matters. I love turning complex ideas into clear, impactful messages. Ideal fit: health, public sector or tech. No sales or RFP roles.

I translate complex technology challenges into clear, compelling content that advances business objectives. I bring bilingual content strategy, technical communications, and information-governance experience across IT organizations.

At Ateko, powered by Bell Canada, I lead content architecture and strategy for cloud, cybersecurity, data, and AI offerings. I create case studies and customer success stories, collaborate with IT architects, developers, and product leaders, and manage the full technical-content lifecycle.

Previously, at the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, I structured the documentation ecosystem for Digital Solutions, coordinated SDLC delivery-framework compliance, and evolved Confluence and SharePoint knowledge resources. My work has also included Agile/Scrum instructions and business-process mapping at Cofomo.

Across roles with Humance, BDO Canada, Hydro-Québec, and my own linguistic-services practice, I've developed technical documentation, reports, web and marketing content, and multilingual communications. I'm especially committed to rigorous French IT terminology, clear information structures, and consistently high-quality deliverables.
