A professional engineer, Micheline Bouchard is a recognized business leader and former CEO who brings broad experience leading technology companies to her board positions. She is also a current member of the International Women’s Forum Global Board.

“When I graduated from engineering school, I went through 10 interviews but got no job offer. Finally, one company came back with a low-paid job. My male classmates received several job offers. I decided then to engage in projects to raise the awareness of engineering for women, since increasing the number of young girls in the profession would contribute to changing perceptions.”
