René began his career in July 1986 after obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, majoring in Finance. In 1989, he was followed by his first clients when he moved from another firm and joined the Royal Bank Financial Group. For the last 35 years, he has been serving his clients under the aegis of this institution, and is proud to know that his very first clients are still with him to this day.
He considers that the reputation and almost unlimited resources of this financial group meet the highest standards, providing him with the best solutions for his clients. This is a fact that has never been contradicted over the years.
In 1998, his sister Eve-Anne, who had joined the same financial institution some 12 years earlier, became his assistant and further refined the service delivered to his clients. The two now introduce themselves as a family entrusted with taking care of other families' assets. Their association is now 26 years old.
In 2003, René acquired the title of Portfolio Manager from the IIROC. This is the organization’s highest awarded designation in regards to portfolio management.
His interest in people, his creativity and his ability to disseminate information are his main skills. For his clients, he provides them with simple solutions and peace of mind in terms of wealth management. Over the course of his career, he has conducted more than 6,000 client interviews. He has become a master in the art of leading fruitful meetings focused on action and results for the greatest benefit of his clients.
René attributes a large part of his professional success to the high standards of integrity and honesty instilled in him by his father. His father paved the way for his family through a distinguished 33-year career with the Royal Bank Financial Group.
René is the father of two sons, one of whom continues the family tradition within the group.
From 2013 to 2019, he served as President of "Protégeons Bromont". A non-profit organization (NPO) of 4,000 citizens aiming to create of a preserved sanctuary park in perpetuity of the last peaks of Mont Brome.
He is a strong believer in a healthy mind in a healthy body. He has been following a rigorous Crossfit training program for several years and enjoys mountain hiking, skiing and golf. A great traveler, he quenches his thirst for discovery, which leads him to discover other cultures and contemplate the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
