Karine Lamontagne

Consultant

As a child, the first thing that I’d ask my mother after waking up was: “Well, what is the plan for today?” Some might think that being five years old and establishing weekly plans is strange, yet clearly, the flame of organisation and leadership was already burning in me! I continued to evolve in this vein through the years: I am a woman of action who continually needs projects, plans, and goals so that I can blossom and feel alive.

I always wanted to make sure that my knowledge could be useful to others, or perhaps even to society in general. After two years studying languages (Spanish and Chinese), and my first year of university in East Asian studies, I had a flash of inspiration that led me to communications. For me, it was the ideal avenue to marry my own skills with the desire I had to feel actively and passionately engaged in my work. Taking a bachelor’s degree program in communications at the Université de Montréal helped me discover this vibrant and dynamic field. I became involved with ComMédia, the university’s journal of communications, in the position of editorin chief. I also set up two web television shows for UTV—Université de Montréal’s web television. From the show’s design to writing scripts and co-hosting these two programs, the experience taught me a great deal about quality, precision, punctuality, and project management.

My time as production director at Angrignon Productions was also very formative. Meeting with clients and listening to their needs, developing strategies, coordinating filmings and post-production were all part of my tasks in the fascinating world of video. An example of a major accomplishment at the heart of this business? Managing, coordinating, and participating in the filming of Airbus 380’s inaugural flight, Paris to Montréal, in April 2011. What an experience!

Now an advisor at CASACOM, my efficiency and my determination can be maximized, to my great pleasure! Never redundant, each projects I’m entrusted with always challenges me and I take pride in exceeding . This is wonderful work for self-esteem, since it brings me a great deal of personal satisfaction and pride.
And you, what makes you feel alive?
