Sebastien Guenette

I am a fully bilingual lawyer and executive with a proven track record as a solution-oriented business advisor with 23 years of experience both in private practice and in-house with multi-national and start-up organizations.

After leaving private practice, I have held in-house roles with increasing responsibilities where I developed a broad experience of working and managing teams across Canada and internationally. I truly enjoy empowering and developing people while learning from them in the process.

Over the course of my career, I have worked in very diverse environments and have had the privilege of becoming a trusted advisor in a variety of fields. While a litigator by trade (commercial, insurance, construction, product liability) I have also practiced in a wide range of fields: corporate & commercial law, transportation law (air, sea, rail, land), compliance in the financial sector, manufacturing operations, restructuring and bankruptcy protection, marketing, e-commerce, highly regulated consumer goods, etc. All my roles have also allowed me to develop an expertise supporting business functions such as external affairs (communications and lobbying), HR, IT and Finance.

In my various leadership roles, I have advised management teams and boards of directors through very diverse business performance cycles, helping them navigate transformational waters.
