He also holds an MBA from Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business.

“First, we would like to thank Marc Brunet for his important contribution to Logibec in the last 17 years, including his 10-year tenure as CEO, during which he led the business to maturity, which will prove essential to the next phase of its development. Michel Desgagné’s client-centric approach, his international experience and deep knowledge of the industry are key factors that make him the ideal person to step in at this time and help Logibec reach its growth objectives,” explained Éric Desrosiers, chairman of the board of Logibec.

“I am very proud to see how far our team has come. I was fortunate to work with brilliant, dedicated people to improve information systems for healthcare facilities,” said Marc Brunet. “I am confident that Michel Desgagné’s leadership and vision will allow Logibec to continue broadening its reach, here and in new markets.”

“I trust in Logibec’s tremendous potential and am determined to propel its growth.

This will allow us to focus our efforts on creating satisfaction and value for our current and future clients, while accelerating innovation as well as product and service development for all our markets.”
