NATIONAL Public Relations gets even "healthier"
MONTREAL, Feb. 7, 2013, 2013 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Serge Paquette, managing partner
of NATIONAL Public Relations' Montreal office, is pleased to announce
the appointment of Christian Marcoux as vice-president, healthcare, to
head the Healthcare Communications practice.
"Mr. Marcoux's career began at NATIONAL nearly 15 years ago. He has
since taken on increasingly senior roles in the biopharmaceutical
industry, at the local and global levels. He has solid experience in
managing large multidisciplinary communications teams, and his
background is rich and varied, ranging from financial communications to
public relations, internal communications and studio productions," said
Mr. Paquette. "I'm convinced his arrival will not only benefit our
clients with his sound counsel but it will also enhance our internal
cross-office network."
Most recently, Mr. Marcoux was associate vice-president, Global Internal
Communications and Studio Productions, at Sanofi's headquarters in
Paris. In this role, he supported key corporate functions with the
deployment of global communications campaigns. He also played a
decisive role in overseeing communications activities associated with
major corporate integration efforts. Prior to Sanofi, he worked at
Pfizer, Merck and Procyon Biopharma.
"My goal is that one day, people will see healthcare as an investment
and not a commodity," said Mr. Marcoux. "I'm looking forward to helping
people better understand the valuable role the healthcare industry
plays in our society and the many great contributions it makes to our
quality of life."
The work done by Mr. Marcoux and his team has received numerous industry
honours, including the European Excellence Award in M&A communications
for the integration of Genzyme within the Sanofi Group, which he
spearheaded.
Mr. Marcoux holds a master's degree in organizational communications and
a BA in English literature from the University of Montreal.
