Meet the Team
Marc G. Serré, Managing Principal
Turning experience into action — for communities, leaders, and organizations.
Wih over three decades of leadership across government, business, and the non-profit sector, I now bring that experience to those who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.
As a former Member of Parliament and Parliamentary Secretary in key federal portfolios, I’ve spent years navigating complex policy environments, building consensus, and advancing community-driven initiatives. My background also includes senior executive roles in telecommunications, education, and social services — always with a focus on operational excellence, equity, and results.
Today, I lead Serré & Associates / Associés, offering personalized support in:
Strategic Planning – From goal setting to implementation
Executive Coaching – For individuals and leadership teams
Governance & Board Consulting – Helping boards strengthen accountability, roles, and performance
Community & Economic Development – With a deep commitment to Indigenous reconciliation and inclusive prosperity
Telecom - Helping telecom companies expand into Northern Ontario
Whether you lead a municipality, a non-profit, or a private sector initiative, I’m here to support your mission. I work in both official languages and bring a bilingual, hands-on approach that’s rooted in trust, experience, and community impact.
