Our governance services are the result of 15 years of expertise in essessing and controlling risks relating to the governance of public companies by the Groupe Investissement Responsable (GIR). The GIR is now a leader in the province of Quebec in terms of advisory services, guiding and assisting investors on environmental, social and governance issues.

Proud of their achievements and know-how, the GIR and its CEO – Mr. Olivier Gamache – are using their expertise to serve SMEs and NPOs by developing governance and business strategy products and services provided by its sister company, Gouvernance Expert (GOEX) since September 2014. These products and services benefit from the expertise of GIR, as well as from the experience of Mr. Pierre Beaucage and that of his team.

Mr. Pierre Beaucage is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of GOEX. For 30 years, Mr. Beaucage held various positions as an executive and director of SMEs and NPOs from various sectors of the economy. Mr. Beaucage has investment partnerships in SMEs in more traditional sectors such as health as well as in leading-edge areas such as responsible investment (www.gir-canada.com). Since 2003, he is a Director on PME MTL Centre-Ville’s Board, also known as the Société de développement économique Ville-Marie. PME MTL is an organization dedicated to starting up and developing of SMEs and NPOs (www.pmemtl.com).

Thanks to his strong experience in managing companies and as an investor, Mr. Beaucage is able to offer a sharp and unique expertise in governance and business strategy for both SMEs and NPOs.
