R&D Director Nortel

Jean-Claude was hired based on a strong recommendation from a former leader in our organization. We had a very challenging project management role that required a results oriented strong leader. Within days of hiring Jean-Claude, I knew we had a real find. He was a diligent and creative project manager who excelled in non-authoritative leadership. His positive impact was felt immediately, and the results continued to be impressive for the entire contract period. I extended Jean-Claude's contract for as long as it was possible and made an effort to make JC a full-time employee, however he had already committed to follow-on employment. I have recently been able to hire Jean Claude for another project

Program Manager Leader Nortel

I found that JC is an excellent project manager with the ability to work with the team to produce all the normal project management plans and schedules. But he goes well beyound that taking ownership and action on any aspect of the project that needs to get done. He is committed to meeting all dates and works effectively with all level of people from the Vice president to the lab tech

Jean Claude (JC) is a true professional with exceptional leadership abilities. JC is very effective in his leadership role and inspires others to deliver based on his ability to lead, mentor and inspire. JC can see the big picture and business needs and can promote these to all with enthusiasm and meaning. JC truly delivers for both the highest level of management to the team in the trenches and has the ability to bridge these levels to deliver results. JC is capable to deliver under any circumstance and has the personality, integrity and experience to lead anyone to success. I would highly recommend Jean Claude to any organization that is looking for a results oriented professional on their leadership team

General Manager ENMAX Envision

“I hired JC as as the company I managed, ENMAX Envision, was tasked with delivering an unprecedentedly large metropolitan fiber-optic construction project. I assessed that my existing company lacked the expertise to organize itself properly for such a large project, so I hired JC to ensure we delivered on our contractual committments. The project demanded tight budget control and a keen and detailed understanding of the design, engineering, approval and construction processes. JC was asked to define a project schedule, and then align existing internal and external resources to deliver against that schedule. JC was also the primary company interface to the end customer. We would have failed to deliver a completed project without JC's expertise and dedication. JC increased the company's productivity on the project by more than 200%. His ability to quickly grasp the critical path and professionally challenge the project team to meet higher expectations were key to the project's success. He proved to be a very dedicated professional

Strategic Account Executive ENMAX Envision

I have worked with JC for about 2 years and when he was brought in to lead a very large project that ENMAX Envision had to compete (130+ SuperNet sites). JC's function was to complete this on time and under budget which he did with flying colors. JC was also our manager of the PMO and put in place the processes and procedures for ENMAX Envision's PMO. My experience was that JC is an individual who works very well with little direction, is a self starter and works very hard. His focus on task is precise and laser like with a fierce desire to complete tasks quickly but leaving no details overlooked.

“I have worked with Jean-Claude for 10 years in several companies. I also brought Jean-Claude in as a partner to lead the completion of a very challenging and highly visible deployment and business reorganization contract under my own company Black Ink Ventures Inc. Jean-Claude has a keen ability to recognize what needs to be done to "make it happen". He is good at relating requirements in context that others can understand and in leading groups with diverse objectives to a common goal. I would highly recommend Jean-Claude for any senior position to get the job done

R&D Director MATRA NORTEL COMMUNICATIONS

Jean Claude is one of the most passionate people that I have ever worked with. He is very perceptive, and able to identify the right opportunities in time to position the team to take advantage of the situation. He is also able to influence and lead outside the organization, pulling together the right resources across. He always keeps optimism about his work and his sense of humor, but keeping the team focused on the end business results.
