Jean-François Godmer, a 2014 McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA graduate, was recently promoted to Regional Channel Manager – Eastern Canada for Schneider Electric. Since completing his EMBA, only a few years ago, things have steadily been changing for the better. After a successful stint as Director of Residential Business Development at Schneider, he has now been offered this great opportunity to look after the implementation of new strategies for Eastern Canada – Quebec and the Maritimes.

“The EMBA is the foundation that I use to build and progress in my career” he explains. ” My philosophy, as my friend and professor Laurent Lapierre

[who, for many years, was the director of the program’s Reflective Mindset module] would say, is to have an impact. Since the EMBA, I’ve realized that for me, having an impact means bringing people together, sharing ideas and developing the tools to innovate, succeed”.

Jean-François will put his philosophy into action as he takes on his new role. He will work the various business units at Schneider to provide distributors with the necessary tools to achieve their goals and support Schneider products.
