Biography
Before joining the National Research Council as a Business Development Officer with the new Language Technologies Research Centre, Michel was responsible for the management of R&D and innovation in several organizations.
Prior to working with the NRC, Michel worked in the geomatics sector. Most recently, he was Senior Advisor with the GeoConnections program of Natural Resources Canada, where he was involved in policy and partnership development. From 2000 to 2002, Michel was President & CEO of 3i (Information Interoperability Institute), in Hull. A not-for-profit membership-based organisation, 3i provided a focal point for Canadian companies that are leaders in activities related to the building of Web-based infrastructures for access to geographic information, and contributed to increasing the synergy within that community. From 1998 to 2000, he was President & CEO of the "Centre de développement de la géomatique" (CDG), in Quebec City.
From 1994 to 1998, Michel was Director of Programs and Contracts with CRESTech (Centre for Research in Earth and Space Technology), one of the Ontario Centres of Excellence, located in Toronto. While there he was responsible for operations, R&D program planning and evaluation, as well as the commercialisation of technology resulting from project work.
Prior to that, Michel worked at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in Saskatoon, where he began his career as a manager of R&D and innovation in 1986. He was primarily responsible for SRC's Environmental Technology Division and established the SRC technology commercialization function.
Before focusing on his interest in R&D and innovation management, Michel had a successful career in applied research, first at École Polytechnique de Montréal then at the SRC, in the areas of geology, geochemistry, mineral exploration, and multivariate statistical analysis of various types of data.
Michel obtained a M.Sc. in Structural Chemistry from Université Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg (France), and an M.Sc.A. in Geology at École Polytechnique de Montréal. He is also a graduate of the Banff School of Management.
