## About

```text
I've built and scaled business partner, operations, and commercial functions across Intelcom | Dragonfly, Groupe EN Biomédical, Flashfood, BrandX, and La Presse. At Intelcom | Dragonfly, I grew a national Business Partner function from 2 to 10 people supporting 300+ contractors and 9,000+ field personnel.

I've led partner negotiations with up to $800K in daily financial exposure, secured approximately $600K CAD in private investment for biomedical R&D, and generated approximately €3.3M in luxury-brand partnerships. I bring systems thinking to governance, performance, international growth, AI-driven risk modeling, and cross-functional transformation.
