Helping Jobber build world-class teams in Engineering and Product

This post celebrates the unsung heroes of my story.

Last year, I joined Vasco in a brand new role. One that would leverage my strengths and passion, which I have built a career around, but also stretch me in new areas I have always wanted to explore. I was hired as a solo-person HR function, in a very high-autonomy culture, with a focus on Recruiting, but took on a much, much broader scope. For me, Vasco became a perfect lab for growth. Growth is uncomfortable, and Guillaume Jacquet & Sébastien Rothlisberger gave me the keys to that castle on day 1. A privilege I'm thankful for every day. 

Along the way, I learned a few things. Importantly, I was going to have to be highly resourceful. I wasn't going to find all the answers I needed internally. AI helps, but it doesn't replace expert opinions. I've been hoarding open-source resources from other companies building in the open for years (bless them!), but that's often not enough.

If you're like me, with a high work ethic but a tendency for low self-confidence (I know, working on it), what you do is you seek out partners and voices who can help you figure it out.

This post is a shoutout to them:

Hasan Shahariar, cpa, and Christine Laman from Nex CPA - Our fractional CFO team. Always, always on the ball! 

Payal Panchal, PCP - The magic behind the "Payroll that just works"! Running payroll has been a new challenge for me, and Payal has single-handedly been the best part of my experience with Humi by Employment Hero. 

Alexandre St-Jean - On s'est rencontrés pour un café, et j'ai tout de suite su que je voulais travailler avec Alex. Alex et son équipe chez Hélice sont rapidement devenus mes partenaires sur qui je peux compter pour toutes les choses RH. 

Camille Provencher - Ma go-to Legal Partner, de Blue HF Legal, toujours là pour m'aider et m'orienter vers les bonnes ressources. 

A big shout-out to those who have also been generous with their time, sometimes just bouncing ideas, sometimes unblocking me on issues: Olessia Sobetski, Antonio Carruyo Romero, Anne-Marie Fortin, Katy Hoszka and more recently James A Seechurn. 

Ma famille: Josée et Dany ❤️

Behind every person on here talking about their successes, there's often a village of people who helped them get there. I wanted to make my village visible. 

✌️ Love

As a seasoned entrepreneur and dedicated professional, I thrive on disrupting norms and forging new paths in Talent Acquisition and Business Development.

With a proven track record at notable entities like National Services Group, Zillow, Facebook, and beyond, I've consistently under-promised and over-delivered.

As the visionary and CEO of Nxt Level, I've partnered with hundreds of VC backed startups and fortune 500 companies. Since 2017, we've orchestrated the ascent of over 100 ventures, facilitating crucial executive placements that have collectively raised over $1 Billion in funding, navigated acquisitions, and orchestrated IPOs. Our impact speaks volumes, and our passion for fostering organizational growth and retention knows no bounds.

But success isn't solely defined by wins; it's also shaped by lessons learned and resilience forged. I wear my entrepreneurial journey proudly, boasting a portfolio of ventures that reflect both triumph and tenacity. From the acquisition of Talentful, a groundbreaking machine learning startup, to the launch and evolution of Barrel and Roll, every endeavor has contributed to my evolution as a leader and strategist.
