“The McGill-HEC Montreal EMBA program is an opportunity to suspend time for learning, reflection and, most importantly, to make new friends. Sometimes these encounters can be life-changing and lead us to make a 180o<\/sup> turn in our career path.\u00a0 After 20 years in healthcare technology development, I met Marie-Jos\u00e9e Lamothe, president of Northex, while on our common journey at the EMBA. She made me re-think the best way for me to contribute to our society’s issues, made the connection between public health and the health of our environment, and then convinced me to join Northex!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Axel Bergman, a McGill-HEC Montreal EMBA graduate, recently joined Northex Environment<\/a> as Vice President, Regulatory and Strategic Affairs.<\/p>\n

“It’s an opportunity to showcase all my EMBA learnings in the context of a critical SME for the future of our planet.”<\/p>\n

Northex, a treatment centre for soils polluted by organic and inorganic pollutants, was founded in 1997 by Marie-Jos\u00e9e Lamothe, one of Axel\u2019s EMBA classmates. From day 1, Northex’s mission has been \u00a0to give a second life to contaminated soils \u00a0– to treat them as \u00a0a natural resource instead of burying them. Today, 25 years later, the company is expanding with two treatment sites and an extensive innovation program aimed at continuously enhancing the value of treated products. Northex’s impact is multifaceted : it reduces the negative environmental impact \u00a0of industrial activities, produces soils rich in nutrients and participates in the energy transfer with the extraction of critical and strategic metals from contaminated soils.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Northex\u2019s growth and her ever-increasing workload forced Marie-Jos\u00e9e to think about sharing responsibilities in order to make the company more effective, and led to her recruiting \u00a0her EMBA colleague, Axel, to join her as vice-president.<\/p>\n

“I joined the EMBA program to launch a strategic reflection on the future I want for the company and to expand my leadership skills. The EMBA answered many of my questions, I came out enriched, and with Axel to help me with strategic thinking and leadership, we have a clearer vision for Northex\u2019s development.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
