As the Atrium matchmaker, Jocelyn strategically scopes out new acquisition
targets and assesses whether they have the credentials to embark
on a committed long-term, mutually beneficial relationship founded
on shared growth objectives.
With Atrium’s growth plan already successfully underway, the time
came in 2004 to create a position dedicated to finding potential
acquisitions that fit with Atrium’s vision and corporate culture.
So they looked within for the perfect candidate, promoting Jocelyn
to Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions.
Prior to joining Atrium in 2000, Jocelyn was part of the first group
of investors in Atrium while at SGF Soquia, believing in Atrium’s
entrepreneurial spirit, strong team and focused, well-devised business
plan in a cutting-edge sector.
Today, Jocelyn is responsible for expanding the network of companies
to generate growth and profitability. How? He uses the art and science
of acquisition. Highly analytical and duty-minded, yet fun and gregarious,
he is a veritable matchmaker. He looks for companies with the right
people, the right products and the right mission to create the right
chemistry with Atrium and its other member companies. Then, when
the timing is right, he approaches them, negotiates the best terms
for both parties and oversees a smooth and easy integration.
Proud that he is helping create a better life for people – and make
money for the company – Jocelyn is a rare breed. Not everyone is
so skilled at diplomacy. It’s a high-pressure responsibility. Maybe
that’s why he has such a passion for balance in life. When he is
not conducting due diligence, you might find him snow-shoeing, golfing
or fly fishing, lost in thought in a canoe on a lake – no cell, no
email.
