Jocelyn Poirier, Chief Corporate Officer and Annie Dubé, Associate Vice President, Corporate Finance
Groupe Touchette has created a new parent structure, Touchette Corporation, as part of a long-term plan to strengthen governance and support the company’s expansion in global markets.
The new corporation is designed to provide a more agile and scalable framework across the organization, improving operational alignment and supporting a phased rollout of shared corporate functions. Co-CEOs Nicolas Touchette and Frédéric Bouthillier will lead the transition, which the company says will reinforce risk management, financial discipline, and overall performance.
As part of the restructuring, Jocelyn Poirier has been appointed Chief Corporate Officer. He will oversee governance, compliance, legal affairs, risk mitigation, strategic planning, corporate communications, and institutional relations.
“The creation of Touchette Corporation reflects our commitment to building an agile, disciplined, and high-performing organization. Jocelyn brings distinguished strategic leadership and a proven track record in organizational transformation, which will be instrumental in realizing our corporate ambitions,” said Nicolas Touchette, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Groupe Touchette, in a statement.
Poirier, a Université de Sherbrooke law graduate and member of the Barreau du Québec, has led major transformations across sectors including professional services, media, telecom, retail, IT, and real estate.
Groupe Touchette has also promoted Annie Dubé to Associate Vice-President, Corporate Finance. A CPA with more than 25 years of experience, Dubé began her career at Deloitte and later held finance roles in telecom and media before joining the company in 2014. She has since led budgeting, planning, and major acquisition work, along with banking and financing activities.
“Having worked with Annie for many years, I have witnessed her remarkable growth. Her expertise, unwavering ethics, and rigor make her a respected leader and a strategic partner essential to our organization,” said Frédéric Poussard, Chief Financial Officer, in a statement.
