With a solid background in agriculture and business, Michel has spent over a decade leading initiatives that promote sustainable development, social empowerment, and responsible business practices across multiple sectors.
He holds a Diploma in Agriculture (International Development) from Alfred College of Agri-Food Technology, University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada), and pursued Business Administration studies at the University of Moncton.

Michel is actively involved in several international and local networks. He is a member of multiple plastic recycling associations, the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation, Business Fights Poverty, and the Knights of Columbus. He also served as a member of the Lions Club Moncton.
Driven by his late father’s dream of educational and social impact, Michel continues to guide Groupe MK International with integrity, innovation, and a people-first philosophy.
