Alexandre was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. His passion for finance began in high school, when he started following markets and analyzing companies to understand what drives long-term value creation. At McGill, this curiosity led him to join Desautels Capital Management, where he developed a particular interest in small-cap investing for its emphasis on deep fundamental research and close analysis of management execution. He also co-authored the proposal for the student-led McGill Ventures Fund, which he currently develops with a team of peers, reflecting his broader interest in innovative and early-stage businesses. Outside of academics, Alexandre enjoys skiing, basketball, and spending time with friends.
