After a varied career, an EMBA alumna sets her sights on investment advising
Marie-Lou Dorval (EMBA’15) has done almost everything: She’s been a filmmaker, she’s been the president of an agricultural business, and she’s run a restaurant.
Since graduating from the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ-HEC Montréal EMBA program, Ms. Dorval has changed her course completely, becoming an investment advisor at Raymond James Ltd — and it’s a job she doesn’t see herself leaving any time soon!
Specifically, Ms. Dorval likes the counselling aspect, which lets her “accompany people, understand their financial objectives, but also their personal objectives; and to help them satisfy both.â€
Though her first steps in the industry were tough, Ms. Dorval has come up with techniques and tools for gaining customers, from networking to organizing seminars.
