“ The recognition you get from such a competition is undeniable, even exemplary. Even more than the prestige of the award in itself, this has allowed me to network with other exceptional executives who I didn't know before. What really struck me is to notice to which point the previous and new winners really care about their development and that of their peers. To me, this is a devotion to talent management and to the progress of businesspeople that motivates me to go forward on a daily basis and never to settle for the status quo. Thanks to everyone involved in this great feat. We must keep on improving this great platform which will help to shape the talents of tomorrow. ”
Vincenzo Ciampi, Vice-President, External Communication and Public Affaires, Standard Life of Canada
2010 Winner, Young Executive in Quebec
“I have devoted the last ten years of my life to my career, to build a company, and what I realise today, is that what's more important than the entrepreneur I have been, I have a passion for people and for my profession. I have chosen to work in human resources more than 15 years ago and at that time, the possibility to honour a young adult, a woman, and an immigrant, working in HR, definitely wasn't foreseeable. So there is hope. ARISTA highlights the ambitions of young Quebec talents. ”
