Dany St-Pierre is a pioneer in the innovation and renewable energy industry in North America. With a great deal of energy, driven by perseverance and determination, her primary mission is to advance solutions to climate change while creating space for women to break through the glass ceilings that hinder their progress. Throughout her career, she has focused on growing the companies she has worked with by sharing her knowledge and ideas. 

One of her greatest strengths, honed over more than 30 years in the workforce, is her ability to use data, analysis and a nuanced understanding of her clients and partners to effectively persuade stakeholders.  

One of the things I'm proudest of is having been part of a team that created a product that was launched worldwide in the early 1990s. I used market research and focus group data to influence and evolve the product towards a new market segment. All this while being the only woman on the team. And the project was a huge success!
