Diane Pilote
My name is Diane, and I have had the privilege of building my career within major financial institutions, where I held several senior management positions. My career path has allowed me to develop strong expertise in restructuring, organizational planning, and corporate strategy. For nearly six years, I served as Senior Vice-President at Laurentian Bank, after holding vice-presidential positions at National Bank and Desjardins.
Since March 2024, I have had the immense privilege of serving as Executive Director of Chez Doris, an organization whose mission is very close to my heart. Committing myself to the well-being of women in vulnerable situations gives new meaning to my professional journey. I am proud to work alongside passionate and dedicated people, and to contribute every day to building a more just, humane, and supportive environment.
