Director and Product Lead, Digital Strategy and Product Solutions, Digital Transformation Branch
Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada
As an early member of the Digital Transformation Branch (circa December 2020) Alexandre took on the challenge of becoming the product lead for the Immunization Information System (IIS). This system, which is part of the VaccineConnect platform, has employed a product management and agile methodology since its inception. In the last year, through a number of rapid and agile sprints, the system has evolved into a solution that aligns to the needs of the users and has continuous improvement baked in. Alex has held a number of roles since joining the public service as a student in 2009. His first foray into design thinking and rapid development was during his time at the Old Age Security Service Improvement Strategy of Service Canada, where he led the development of various products and prototypes destined to Canadian seniors. A true proponent for career mobility in the GC, Alex has always sought out opportunities that place him at the intersection of business and technology. He has worked at Employment and Social Development Canada, Service Canada, TBS and Health Canada/PHAC, and he looks forward to engaging with those who want to help digitally transform their business!
