Antonin has a diversified professional background that has allowed him to grow within financial institutions, education, and more recently, an entrepreneurial venture.

Together with his partner in 2013, Antonin started an insurance firm specializing in surety bonds with the goal of helping entrepreneurs. After achieving its growth objectives, the firm was sold in 2020 to a pan-Canadian group. Antonin is now vice-president and actively participates in the success of the company.

He advises and supports entrepreneurs on a daily basis, which has given him in-depth knowledge of the context and challenges facing small- and medium-sized businesses in Quebec.

Earlier in his career, he had the opportunity to work in the public sector teaching economics and administration at a CEGEP for four years. He enjoyed working with young people, so it was with a heavy heart that he left teaching to take up a new entrepreneurial challenge.

Antonin has also worked at Export Development Canada and in the research office of the National Liberal Caucus.

A father of three grown children, Antonin is a family man who is always ready to help and support his loved ones. He values teamwork as a recipe for success.

Antonin earned a bachelor's degree in administration from HEC, a master's degree in economics from Université de Montréal and completed doctoral coursework in administration at Université Laval.
