Darcy Ferron recently joined Ingenium as Vice President of Business Development. The professional journey that brought him to Ingénium spans 20 years in the financial sector with a focus on business development, the last 5 of which were with EDC as a strategic account director and principal representative of international business development.

“On gère comme on est”… having recently moved to a new employer and to a new sector, Professor Emeritus Laurent Lapierre’s words from the EMBA are as relevant as ever.  I am reminded to be humble, to listen, to be creative, to dare, to be myself… I am reminded that I won’t know everything, but I can use my strengths to push forward and know that I will make mistakes. “Accepting to be you” by being self-aware and of course having an awareness of others, understanding perception and being realistic about it… everything he taught us has been so valuable in shaping my path.  

Bringing together three museums under one identity, Ingenium is a space dedicated to celebrating human creativity, discovery and ingenuity. Ingenium pays tribute to the peoples and communities who have made history and inspire the next generation. Under the Ingenium brand, three museums —the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum — provide a sensory experience that immerses young and old alike in the countless ways science and technology connect with our everyday lives.
