You’d be apt to think Marc-André is calm and quiet after learning his interests include curling and travelling in his VW Westfalia. It’s all a ruse. Marc-André is a wolf in sheep’s clothing – he feels the need for speed! He’s a graduate of the Jim Russell Car Racing School, and a passionate mountain biker and ski enthusiast. With a degree in Finance from HEC Montréal, he started his career at CIBC Investor’s Edge as a trader before giving sales a go at Talvest Fund Management Inc. He met our very own Etienne while working at Renaissance Investments and recently spent time at Sentry Investments. Marc-André is fiercely competitive and hates to lose, which is something we admire here at EdgePoint. Let the push-up contests begin!
