With more than 25 years of legal and management experience, Nadia Martel offers invaluable expertise to steer our organization to new successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI enthusiastically accepted the position of president of the board of directors of Evol, an organization made up of incredible people and a community committed to making a big difference to society,\u201d said Nadia Martel, president of Evol\u2019s board of directors. \u201cTogether, we will continue to be the architects of sustainable change, shaping a future where economic development and social impact are inseparable. I would also like to thank our two new directors and express my deep gratitude to our two outgoing directors, including our former president of the board.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the last annual general meeting, two new directors joined the Evol board of directors: Beno\u00eet Auger and Patrick Thibault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every member offers a distinct skillset and knowledge and contributes to the strength of the group. The experience and expertise of these two new board members will enable Evol to continue its track record of success with optimism and confidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These feelings are shared by the outgoing president, Alain-Olivier Desbois, who played an important role in Femmessor\u2019s evolution into Evol and in implementing the impact funding envelope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am ending my mandate with Evol with a sense of mission accomplished,\u201d said Alain-Olivier Desbois, outgoing president of Evol\u2019s board of directors. \u201cSince the launch of the impact funding envelope in 2021, over $24.5&nbsp;million in financing has been granted to 161&nbsp;businesses, generating $67.4&nbsp;million in investment spin-offs. With the ambitions our organization is pursuing, based on the most recent strategic planning exercise, Evol is on a promising trajectory to position itself in impact financing and reach new heights.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made up primarily of seasoned entrepreneurs, Evol\u2019s board of directors contributes a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to our organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t accomplish our mission without the incredible commitment of our colleagues, partners, community of volunteers and, of course, directors,\u201d said G\u00e9raldine Martin, CEO of Evol. \u201cI thank them and congratulate the newly appointed members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-is-the-full-composition-of-our-2024-2025-board-of-directors\">Here is the full composition of our 2024-2025\u00a0board of directors:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nadia Martel, president <\/strong>(founding partner, i4 Capital Fund)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lucie Bourgeois, vice-president<\/strong> (founding president, Umalia)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fran\u00e7ois Faucher, treasurer <\/strong>(president, Gestion Cinq-F Inc. \u2014&nbsp;Consulting and Support)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Farnel Fleurant, secretary <\/strong>(founder and CEO of Workind)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benoit Auger, director (CPA, partner at PwC Canada)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatoumata Barry, director (director of investment at the Fondation Lucie et Andr\u00e9 Chagnon)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marc Bouchard, director (vice-president, credit risk and participation management, Investissement Qu\u00e9bec)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Myriam Crevier, director (senior partner and general manager at Syrus)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bhaskor Guha, director (founder, TLM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nathalie Nasseri, director (senior business advisor at Inno-Centre)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Richard Painchaud, director (president, Kourant Technologies Inc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patrick Thibault, director (president of 11\u2009806\u2009416 Canada Inc &amp; fractional CFO)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emmanuelle Toussaint, director (vice-president, Cl\u00e9o Innovations Inc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-outdoing-directors-nbsp\">Outdoing directors:&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Luis Cisneros, director (professor, Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at HEC Montr\u00e9al)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alain-Olivier Desbois, outgoing president (chief finance and impact officer, Oneka Technologies)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-observers\">Observers:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>G\u00e9raldine Martin, observer (CEO, Evol)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Michelle Nollet, observer (advisor, Direction du soutien \u00e0 l\u2019entrepreneuriat et aux cr\u00e9neaux d\u2019excellence, Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00c9conomie et de l\u2019Innovation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21078,"template":"","point-of-interest-category":[],"news-category":[1276],"news-tag":[1277],"class_list":["post-21077","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-governance","news-tag-board-of-directors"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Evol announces the composition of its 2024-2025 board of directors - evol<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Evol appointed a new board of directors at its annual general meeting on June 18.
