Former Quebec liberal party leader Dominique Anglade lands a new job as as associate professor at the HEC business school in Outremont.
Ten months after she quit her post as leader of Quebec’s Liberal party, Dominique Anglade has taken up a new position as an associate professor at HEC Business School, focusing on sustainable development and climate change.
“This is a business school that is saying we cannot have business leaders who are not responsible, who are not focusing on climate change,” Anglade said during a sit-down interview with Global News.
“Everything they are doing is inspiring. That is why I felt it was an alignment for me to join their team.”
In a statement, HEC said Anglade would advance the school’s action in the area of sustainable development.
“Ms. Anglade will help the School in its mission to develop management leaders who contribute responsibly to the success of organizations and the sustainable development of society. Its mandate will include participating in the development of new courses, programs and training on socio-ecological transition for organizations, businesses and the student community, and establishing international links with other institutions conducting research in the context of the fight against climate change.
In the spirit of co-leadership with the HEC Montréal team, she will help ensure that the school applies and shares best practices at this level. She will be particularly interested in the role of women in this sustainable transformation.”
Anglade says the full-time job will see her travel in her position to strengthen ties with other international institutions.
Anglade quit as Liberal leader last November, following the party’s bruising defeat in the fall election. She had spent seven years in politics as an MNA, deputy leader and then leader.
