Chris has been instrumental in the evolution of the Company. He will always be a friend of Nouveau Monde. At the same time, I am delighted to be welcoming Andrew to our Board. Having witnessed his successes first hand for 15 years, I have no doubt that he will play a vital role in guiding Nouveau Monde, especially in terms of finance and international business affairs.”
