About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at Université Laval, passionate about understanding how consumers talk, think, and influence markets. My work sits at the intersection of AI, marketing, and consumer welfare, exploring how conversations shape brands, industries, and public policy.
Beyond academia, I enjoy fishing for insights—both in data and on the water. When I’m not analyzing consumer chatter, you might find me outdoors or deep in a strategy game.
