A small team, a long track record._

Hairstylist for thirty years and the owner-operator of Funky Toque, the Boulevard Saint-Laurent salon that was a Plateau landmark for three decades. Running a salon floor taught him what the booking platforms never understood: every new fee and every extra click comes out of the stylist's pocket. He co-founded SHIFT_ to give independent professionals the tools he wanted for himself, and to keep their money where it belongs.

Electrical engineer and RBQ-licensed general contractor with twenty-five years of building businesses from the ground up — from telecom distribution to mission-critical power infrastructure. Today he runs KVA Protection, designing and delivering the systems that keep data centres and server rooms running, and brings that same operator's discipline to SHIFT_.

Known for launching Montreal's first startup incubator in 1999. Ideas2Market incubated and launched several notable ventures, including mConcierge and GuestDriven, I Can Go Without, PotCoin, and the award-winning Apple Authorized Service Provider iTechnique. Today he is shaping a future with Arcana Concept — blending business strategy, intuitive design, and a commitment to tech-for-good.
