Miscellaneous

As a manager in the nonprofit arts sector in Toronto and Montreal for 25 years, I participated as a philanthropy professional for the National Ballet of Canada (1983-1991), the Canadian Center for Architecture (1991-1992) and, as General Director, for the Grands Ballets Canadiens (1992-1996). As a professor of the  Management of the Arts and Culture at HEC Montréal, I developed and teach the Philanthropy and Management of Cultural Enterprises course. From there, I triggered several research projects in the cultural philanthropy sector, especially a report on cultural philanthropy in Montreal for the Conseil des arts de Montréal. I remain very involved in the Arts as a mentor and coach for young professionals in the sector. I participated in the founding of the group “Conversations philanthropiques en culture“. We have organized Cultural Philanthropy Days in 2018 and 2019.
