She has held positions in business development, marketing, risk assessment and underwriting; and through these different lenses has supported Canadian companies in going, growing and succeeding internationally.

Dominique is now the Operational Excellence Coach of a senior leadership team at EDC, supporting the corporation’s chosen top down Lean maturity model. Dominique has taken a particular interest in Appreciative Inquiry as a complementary approach to continuous improvement and Lean sustainability, which has helped her humanize and energize the cultural change dimension of Lean.
