Throughout his prolific career, he has developed expertise in leading corporate finance activities, financial planning and analysis, operations management, and administration. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Carleton University, an MBA from HEC Montreal and is also a Fellow of the Order of CPAs.
“I feel privileged to join a world-class team like Solotech’s. I look forward to contributing to the virtual revolution that’s underway,” says Mr. Richard.
