He also has an innate ability to develop long-term growth plans with great attention to detail, all while keeping his teams on track with a firm but caring hand. He’s a great leader and someone who I believe our staff and clients will truly enjoy working with.” Bastien is based out of Quebec City and also has a home in Montreal.
