Meet Raphaëlle
Authentic marketer & trusted manager
Hard to know where to start! For those who don't know me, I had a fairly unusual personal and professional career. I was repeatedly told I wasn't "focused" enough in life due to my numerous projects. I therefore decided to follow my interests, aligned with my values, to build my own journey.
At an early age, I enjoyed a professional career in competitive figure skating and Latin dance. These high-level sports have definitely shaped my creativity and discipline. Due to several surgeries following a practice injury, I was forced to retire.
As my plan B, I pursued my studies at HEC Montréal and graduated in Entrepreneurship and Marketing. During my time there, I launched my first entrepreneurial project: Femmes en Affaires HEC Montréal. It was my first glimpse into the business world and I immediately knew this was only the beginning!
While working in the pharmaceutical industry, project ideas kept popping in my mind! That's when I decided to jump into the emptiness and become independent in order to exploit my expertise to its fullest potential.
This was followed by a wide range of experiences and business start-ups within the consumer goods, agriculture, security and marketing fields. I have built and sold several projects in order to get on to the next one!
At last, here I am! As I reached a turning point in my young career, I wish to fulfill my true passion: To help and support entrepreneurs in their growth. Why? To ensure our future generations access to socially conscious businesses run by passionate and dedicated leaders.
Interested in learning more about me? I would be happy to share my extraordinary journey with you.
