Tell us more about your career path
I started my career after graduating from Bishop’s University with a BA in Administration, specialising in Marketing and Human Resources.
Over the past 30 years, I have worked in the manufacturing sector, specialising in lighting. I’ve held several key positions with major manufacturers, ranging from inside sales to sales management to national director. My expertise was built up over time, enabling me to develop an in-depth understanding of market needs.
Eight years ago, I took a decisive turn in my career by focusing specifically on smart cities. It was then that I had the opportunity to work with Dimonoff on several intelligent lighting projects. This collaboration enabled me to put into practice my expertise in the integration of technologies on smart poles.
My professional experience has also led me to work mainly in the United States, collaborating with various entities such as universities, hospitals and municipalities. My passion lies in creating tailor-made solutions that meet the specific needs of each project, contributing to the constant evolution of cities towards intelligence and sustainability.
What is your vision of sales?
My vision of sales, especially in technology, is to inform and train professionals and project managers so that they can work together and build great projects. For me, sales is first and foremost about finding the right solution for the customer, because a satisfied customer always comes back!
What are your goals at Dimonoff?
I’d like to work more and more with smart cities to showcase Dimonoff’s full potential. I want to showcase all our solutions to help cities improve the management of their assets, give them a better understanding of their environment and thus be able to better respond to the needs of their citizens.
In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good partner?
I like to think that a good partner is someone you can work with as a team, someone who complements you and someone you can count on in good times and bad.
What is your vision of the smart city market?
Smart cities are much more than a simple adoption of technology; they are a necessary evolution to meet the complex challenges of our time. I firmly believe that smart solutions, such as IoT and artificial intelligence, are powerful tools that can optimise the use of resources, improve citizens’ quality of life and promote environmental sustainability. Intelligent connectivity can transform urban infrastructure into adaptive systems, capable of adjusting to society’s changing needs.
Why did you accept Dimonoff's offer?
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Dimonoff on several projects in the past and I had a great curiosity about the world of IoT and the possibilities at hand. I was also keen to take on a new challenge with a leader in lighting control for smart cities. So, I joined the Dimonoff team and I’m proud to be part of this professional and dynamic team.
Anything we should know about you?
I’m passionate about life, I love meeting new people and exchanging ideas. I’m very determined, I like to learn new things and I love a challenge!
