Dominique Anglade, the first black woman party leader in Canada, has established herself as a seasoned leader with close to 30 years of experience in driving major organizational transformations in multiple sectors and industries. Today, her focus is on supporting the academic, private, and public sectors in achieving a sustainable transition. Through her work in teaching, training, and program development, she empowers organizations to build a fairer society. After her election to the National assembly of Quebec (2015), Dominique was quickly appointed Minister of the Economy, Science, and innovation (2016-2018) and later Depute Premier of Québec (2017-2018) with a mandate to steer Québec's economy towards significant changes in innovation. Drawing on her expertise in organizational change management at McKinsey & co (2005-2012), she drove transformative programs injecting more than a billion dollars into the automation, robotization and digitalization of Quebec companies and made historic investments to propel artificial intelligence in Quebec. She is at the forefront of the ratification of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA) and the resolution of various trade conflicts with the American government. On the strength of these achievements, Dominique subsequently became Leader of the Liberal Party of Québec (2020-2022) where she expanded the party platform to include green economy and social reforms. Dominique’s ability to drive transformational economic change is grounded in her deep operational experience. Over her career she held a variety of leadership roles in manufacturing (Procter & Gamble 1996-2000), in technology (Nortel Networks 2000-2004), and as CEO of economic development corporation Montreal International (2013-2015). At the later, she guided the organization to secure over a record $1.6B in investment which more than doubled historical performance of the company. With almost all her roles being historical firsts, Dominique deeply appreciates the need for societal transformation. She co-founded KANPE the year of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haïti to bring support to the underserved rural communities on their path to autonomy. KANPE has since directly accompanied over 20,000 Haitians to achieve economic self-sufficiency, social advancement, and educational progression. Dominique has also served on more than a dozen boards such as the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec, Centraide of Greater Montreal, and the CHU Ste-Justine Hospital Foundation. Dominique’s economic, social, and political leadership has been recognized by 20+ awards and prizes including the Tribute from the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec for her exceptional contribution to the profession (2011), being named Young Global Leader by the Davos Economic Forum (2014) and awarded the Prix Mérite, the highest distinction awarded by the Foundation and Alumni of Polytechnique Montréal (2017). She is an engineer graduated from Polytechnique Montréal and holds an MBA from HEC Montréal. Dominique is happily married and the mother of three teenager.
