With academic training in marketing and finance at McGill University, experience within a variety of multinational corporations (Abitibi-Consolidated, Abbott and General Electric) and service as Vice-President of the Marin marketing agency, Maurice decided to set up his own agency in 1994.  He now devotes the bulk of his time to building his firm.  Spontaneous and congenial in the traditional Italian manner, Maurice is a "bon vivant" who enjoys good living, a game of golf, travel and fine food.
