Monique Lamoureux

Job Titles:
  • Co - Chair
Coming from the advertising world, Monique Lamoureux worked at Strategem for 13 years, notably as vice-president of media. She was a shareholder in the company for 10 years, until 1999 when the company was sold to Carat, a major media group based in London. A pioneer in her industry, she was one of the first to put media creativity at the service of her clients by developing the sponsorship of series such as Lance et compte, Les Filles de Caleb, Blanche and La Petite Vie. Passionate about television, she took the plunge in 1999 by joining the Avanti Ciné Vidéo team. First a content producer, she then moved to the position of general manager in 2000. While she is responsible for the company's management, the distribution aspect occupies most of her time. She supervises all operations linked directly or indirectly to the brands of the company, which includes the production of DVD boxes and derivative products.

In 2000, Avanti Ciné Vidéo moved into its own offices and she became its administrative director. Responsible for financing, day-to-day administration, contract management and material resources, she contributed to establishing a solid structure and an accounting department recognized throughout the community for its efficiency and professionalism.
