Marco Beaulieu

“I have been under the leadership of Marco for the past 4 years and a half and it has been an outstanding experience! Marco is passionate, strategic and has infinite resources to make things happen. He cares a lot about all his team members and creates an extraordinary work environment. Marco helped me a lot in my development and was always there to support when needed. Kudos to Marco!”

“Marco is an inspirational and passionate leader with outstanding interpersonal skills. He literally lives and breathes continuous improvement and innovation and that has led to an internship program so impressive it rivals mid to large size companies in headcount. This obviously delivers tremendous value to the company, students, universities and society. Beyond his abilities to motivates teams and stakeholders, he also is deeply engaged in understanding and leveraging the latest tools and technologies for optimal performance. Working with him has been an absolute pleasure and I can say from first-hand experience that he is very gracious, humble and a master at uplifting others and giving them meaningful recognition.”

“Marco gave yet another fabulous guest lecture to our students this year. For the past few years, he has generously given up his (nonexistent) free time to share his knowledge and experience with our graduate students here at McGill. He has guest lectured on Knowledge Management and, more recently, on Professional Skills. Our students benefit greatly from hearing about "real life" and Marco is not only an excellent speaker but a highly inspirational one. I hope he continues to come to McGill!”

“Je collabore avec Marco depuis quelques années déjà soit dans le cadre de projets de recherche-action, soit comme conférencier dans mes cours de M.Sc. et de MBA. Leader en KM, ouvert sur la connaissance académique et les partenariats, passionné d'innovation, Marco est aussi un excellent conférencier qui, par la qualité de ses contenus, permet à nos étudiants gradués de mieux comprendre les liens entre les concepts et la pratique professionnelle. Ce qui est un bien précieux pour nous à HEC Montréal. Et nous apprécions tous et toutes son sens de l'humour hors du commun !”

“Marco est un leader qui possède une grande intelligence émotionnelle. Ingénieur de formation, il entreprend chaque défi de façon très cartésienne et structurée. Cependant, cela ne l'empêche pas d'être le meilleur coach que j'ai eu. Marco va chercher l'engagement et l'implication de tous par l'écoute et la communication. ”

“I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Marco Beaulieu for over 6 years particularly within the framework of the Mosaic-HEC Montréal Summer School on Management of Creativity & Innovation of which I am the Director, as well as the 2014 edition of the International Space University (ISU) Space Studies Program (SSP'2014) hosted in Montreal this summer. Marco has outstanding communication & leadership skills, and is able to share his vision on knowledge management with conviction, dedication and passion. He is open minded, probing, thinks outside the box, and has the inherent ability to bring diverse actors together to collaborate and collectively generate new ideas, new concepts, new processes, and have fun while doing so! It is a true privilege to work with him.”

“Leader in KM, expert in managing organizational transformations and evolution, dedicated to process efficiency and operational excellence. Demanding and always challenging, a real pleasure to work and learn with!”

“As a co-director of the research group Mosaic at HEC Montréal business school, I have had the honour and pleasure to work on different projects related to knowledge management issues with Marco Beaulieu. The most recent one being the HERITAGE project which deals with the transfer of intergenerational knowledge within Bombardier Aerospace. These projects have been a unique opportunity to appreciate Marco’s vision of what modern knowledge management is, to realise how remarkable, inspiring and persuasive his leadership is within his company, and to experience how his open minded attitude always pushes those who work with him to give the best of themselves. In addition to his high professional expertise, Marco has been invaluable to the Mosaic research group. Since the very beginning, Marco has always played the role of a visionary leader, of a coach and of an extraordinary ambassador. ”

“Marco partage sa passion pour la gestion des connaissances depuis quelques années, comme conférencier invité, dans une formation que je livre à l’Université de Sherbrooke, dans le cadre du diplôme de 2e cycle en gestion de la formation et de l'éducation. Ses présentations sont toujours très appréciées par les étudiants car elles permettent de valider les liens existants entre la théorie, ses modèles et les applications possibles dans les organisations qui ont pris le virage de l’organisation apprenante. Et seule une personne passionnée et experte du domaine peut réaliser cela. Je me considère chanceux de pouvoir compter sur cette expertise pour aider à la rencontre des objectifs du programme.”

“Marco is the most dynamic and exceptionally multi-functional person I have known. He is fantastic !”

“Marco was my 'go-to guy' when it came to bringing my abstract technology concepts to life and create innovative solutions for our customers. His leadership and tenacity brought the Microsoft/Cisco UC interoperability out of the lab, and into the hands of leading Canadian businesses -- a Canadian first. It was an absolute pleasure working with Marco, and would recommend him for any organization looking for explosive growth and creating a culture of innovation.”

“Marco is a true partner and always ready to help and find innovative and creative solution to todays business and technical challenges. A true pleasure to have worked with Marco.”

“I was a colleague of Marco at Bell, and had a chance to work with him when he was at the International Institute of Technology. Marco is a true leader and great people person. With his great sens of humor and high energy, he can rally a whole organisation towards a common goal. His analytic skills allow him to tackle the most complex projects and problems, yet his strong people skills will make everybody in and around his team have a good time while doing it with him. His operational muscle is well developed. He ran and managed teams and large projects. He always communicates and shares his learnings and insights in diverse and professional ways, from publishing operational procedures and training material, to organising training sessions and seminars, to teaching full fledge university courses. His creative thinking and drive make him identify and successfully pursue new ideas, new solutions and new opportunities for his organisation. I truly recommend getting to know and working with this overall great person.”

Un gestionnaire d'expérience et authentique qui sait s'adapter aux situations le plus exigeantes du milieu de travail et qui cherche toujours à se perfectionner. Je demeure disponible pour toutes autres informations à son égard. Giovanni Sansalone”

“I have worked with Marco for more than 10 years and I can say that he's one of the top managers that I have dealt with. Even though the problem was very serious we were sure that Marco would find an imaginative solution that nobody would have thought about. On top of it he has excellent communication skills. I greatly recommend him.”
