I am thrilled to peel back the curtain to introduce myself and the vision behind PmPCatalyst. Merging professionalism with a zeal for life’s finer moments, I’ve dedicated over 16 years to mastering the art of project management in dynamic industries like manufacturing, oil & gas, energy, and transportation.
I’m not just another project manager—I’m a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and a proud member of the Order of Engineers of Quebec (OIQ). My drive for knowledge took me to the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, a beacon of scholarly excellence with a legacy spanning over 800 years, where I earned my master’s in industrial systems, manufacturing, and management. But it’s not all work and credentials; it’s about the passion that fuels the drive.
Through my journey, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of effective project management. It’s not just about managing tasks; it’s about steering a team towards unforeseen heights. That’s the foundation of PmPCatalyst—a platform conceived from experience, designed for progress, and dedicated to those who believe there’s always room for growth.
More Than Just Projects: My World Outside Work
While I’m completely at work in the world of Gantt charts and stakeholder meetings, there’s a whole lot more to me than just project deadlines. Outside of the office, I’m all about striking the right balance. For me, that means diving into a good book, strategizing over a chessboard, and challenging myself with various outdoor activities.
I’m an enthusiast of intellectual pursuits like reading and chess. These hobbies not only provide a much-needed break from the tactical thinking of project management but also keep my strategic skills sharp. They feed my curiosity while giving me a competitive edge in problem-solving and planning.
But I’m not just about cerebral activities. The thrill of skiing down powdery slopes, the steady rhythm of a cycling tour, or the camaraderie of a group hike; these experiences energize me. They ground me in the present and remind me of the beauty of nature and the importance of health and well-being.
Many of my happiest memories are from times spent around a campfire with friends or celebrating milestones with family over a meal. The joy of sharing stories, laughter, and quality time with loved ones is invaluable. It’s a simple truth: good food and wine, with great company, is one of life’s finest treats.
This love for life extends to my passion for writing and sharing my convictions in the fields of project management and personal development. I aim to share the knowledge I’ve gained throughout my career in a way that’s both informative and engaging, bridging the gap between professional advancement and personal growth.
As someone deeply committed to personal growth and helping others succeed, I resonate with Tony Robbins’ message in The #1 Secret to Getting ANYTHING YOU WANT in Life. He emphasizes that true success comes from resourcefulness—qualities like creativity, passion, and perseverance—not just external resources. Similarly, my journey reflects this principle as I strive to empower others through project management coaching, leveraging my own experiences to inspire resourcefulness and purpose-driven action.
Each of these facets of my life enriches the other. My hobbies enhance my professional capabilities, and the discipline of my work allows me to appreciate leisure all the more. It’s this blend of experiences and interests that I bring to PmPCatalyst, where I hope to encourage project managers to find their own balance and excel both at work and beyond.
Unlock Your Project Management Success
Are you tired of juggling complexities, battling unforeseen hurdles, and still struggling to make your projects a resounding success?
Welcome to PmPCatalyst, where we specialize in catalyst performance for the success of any project.
Join me on a journey to simplify the intricate, envision the obstacles before they arise, and pave the path to success in every project you undertake. My mission is to empower you with the tools, strategies, and insights to not just manage projects, but to master them and become a catalyst in performance.
PmPCatalyst is a practical library for project professionals who want delivery to feel less chaotic and more controllable.
After years leading and supporting complex delivery across manufacturing, energy, and other industries, I noticed a pattern: projects rarely fail because teams “don’t work hard.” They slip because complexity stays ambiguous, constraints show up late, and governance doesn’t create real decision support.
That’s what PMPcatalyst is built to address.
My operating convictions
- Simplify Complexity. Turn ambiguity into structure people can execute: clear scope boundaries, interfaces, priorities, and an integrated plan that reflects how work actually happens.
- Anticipate constraints. Surface risks, issues, dependencies, capacity limits, and stakeholder friction early, while there is still time to choose trade-offs instead of reacting to surprises. Anticipate roadblocks before they derail your progress. Gain the foresight to navigate challenges effectively and keep your projects on track.
- Deliver predictably. Create a steady execution rhythm: clear decision rights, disciplined change control, and performance visibility leaders can trust. When you make it visible, you outweigh volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity; thus, transforming and catalyzing your project management approach from ordinary to extraordinary. As a result, you will consistently deliver projects that exceed expectations.
What you’ll find here
- Articles and frameworks on governance, execution discipline, and delivery predictability
- Practical guidance across scope, cost, schedule, risk, change, and stakeholder alignment
- Examples grounded in real project conditions (not theory)
If you’re a project manager sharpening your execution, a leader building delivery capability, or a team trying to stabilize performance, you’ll find tools here that you can apply immediately.
If you occasionally need a deeper review or a structured learning path, I also offer limited coaching and training, always practical, and always tied to real delivery outcomes.
Whether you’re a seasoned project manager looking to refine your skills or a newcomer eager to learn the ropes, PmPCatalyst is your ultimate destination for project management excellence.
