About Henri-Jean

The Bridge Between Boardrooms and Project Execution

I operate at the intersection of governance, execution, and risk. For over two decades, I’ve partnered with boards, C-suites, and transformation leaders across North America and the Middle East to close the gap between strategic ambition and execution capacity — advising on projects ranging from $100M to over $1B. As an ICD-Certified Director (ICD.D), Chair of the Risk Committee for the organizations behind Montreal’s Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges, Founding Partner of Adsum Consulting Group, and Lecturer at HEC Montréal, I help leaders understand that risk is the currency through which strategy becomes impact.
