Éric Brouillette joined the team of the Fondation de l’Université du Québec à Montréal as director of finance and information technologies in August 2018. He is responsible for the sound financial management and drawing up, development and implementation of his sector’s strategic plan. He also acts as a consultant to the general management, identifying opportunities for improvement and recommending the most appropriate IT solutions. He is responsible for security management for the various information systems, the establishment of good management practices, and the integration of technological development projects with a global vision in line with the Fondation’s strategic goals. He supervises a team of six people.
Previously, Éric had worked at Tourisme Montréal for 11 years, promoting the metropolis. He served as its finance and administration manager for five years, before being promoted to the position of assistant director – finance and administration, in June 2012. In addition to ensuring the organization’s sound financial management, he was called to assist its senior management in matters involving governance, and participated in the internal audit committee. He was responsible for supervising employees in accounts payable and receivable, payroll, and administrative support.
In 2016, he participated in a first humanitarian mission with CPA Without Borders, in cooperation with Terre sans frontières (Earth Without Borders), with a Haitian community of nuns known as the Soeurs de la Charité Saint-Louis. Éric helped the congregation to adopt healthy and efficient accounting practices. He contributed to the development and shaping of the accounting skills of the staff in charge of accounting for all the establishments under their responsibility. He was involved in the recruitment of new cooperants with Terre sans frontières in the pursuit of that mission. He was able to create links with the Sisters, which allowed him to return there in 2018 to act as resource-person for four accounting students from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières who were carrying out the mission with the community.
Éric holds a Bachelor’s in Accounting Sciences from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and is a member of the Ordre des comptables professionnels agréés du Québec.
