Violaine Paquette is a partner at KPMG in the Strategy and Operations practice. For over 20 years, she has been helping organizations with their transformation, growth, and performance improvement projects.
Beyond her professional career, Violaine strongly believes in the importance of getting involved in causes that contribute to the well-being of our communities. It is in this spirit that she agreed to get involved as an ambassador for the Red Dress Gala Montreal, supporting Heart + Stroke.
This cause resonates with her especially because women's heart health is something she really cares about. Some personal experiences in her life have allowed her to see up close the impact that cardiovascular diseases can have on those affected and their loved ones. They also strengthened her awareness of the importance of heart health in women and the work that still needs to be done to better prevent, detect, and raise awareness about these issues. Over time, she realized that this is a topic that deserves our full attention and ongoing societal commitment.
By taking part in the Red Dress Gala Montreal, Violaine wants to put her energy, network, and ability to rally people to work for a mission that can really make a difference in the lives of many women and families. She believes that leadership isn’t just about the business world—it also means giving back to the community, supporting causes that matter to us, and encouraging those around us to get involved.
For Violaine, every little action counts when it comes to improving the health and quality of life for current and future generations.
