Tell us about yourself?

I have always had a deep passion for technology. From a young age, I was convinced that my future would be in this field. However, my path was not traditional. During my adolescence, I found that the conventional school environment did not suit me, leading me to leave formal education early. My journey then took a turn when I completed a training program at Herzing College, which marked the beginning of my unique path in the IT sector.

Despite my different life experiences compared to many colleagues, I continued to pursue my career in IT. Yet, I always felt somewhat out of place, harbouring a deep desire to start my own business. This aspiration led to the founding of Mofco in 2015, with the goal of serving businesses in Quebec. My philosophy has always been to be a reliable and competent technological partner for our clients, a principle that has guided every decision we make at Mofco.

My journey is a testament to the idea that non-traditional paths can lead to success and fulfillment. It is this belief and commitment to our values that drives Mofco’s mission to deliver exceptional technology services to our clients.

If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?

If I could turn back the clock, I would advise myself to invest time in pursuing higher education. While I have compensated for this by being an avid reader and continuous learner, I sometimes regret not experiencing the formative college years. I’ve come to realize the importance of listening to one’s instincts. They are always there, subtly guiding us in our decision-making. Learning to truly listen and trust these instincts is a skill that takes time to develop. This advice would have been invaluable to me, reinforcing the belief that education and intuition are both crucial in shaping a successful and fulfilling career.
