Lightspeed, a global commerce leader, has announced the appointment of Manon Brouillette to its board of directors. Brouillette brings valuable insights and a fresh perspective as Lightspeed actively rolls out new innovations in cloud-based technology for SMBs in the retail, hospitality, and golf industries.
In her new role, Brouillette will provide superior expertise as a former executive who led telecommunications giant, Videotron.
In her previous role as CEO of Videotron, Brouillette spearheaded a series of large-scale strategic rollouts until January 2019. This included Videotron’s entry into the wireless market ($1B investment), making the company Canada’s fastest-growing carrier, and transforming the cable television business model into a multiplatform, on-demand and linear video service. Since then, she has worked as an advisor to venture capital and private equity firms, and sits on the board of Altice USA, National Bank of Canada, Sonder and Ipsy.
“I’ve had the unique opportunity to closely watch Lightspeed scale its operations on a global level,” said Brouillette. “I’m thrilled to join Lightspeed’s board of directors during this pivotal moment in the company’s history. I’ve long admired businesses that make up the fabric of their community, and I am eager to support Lightspeed’s mission to help complex SMBs accelerate business growth with the adoption of industry-leading digital solutions.”
“We are truly grateful to have Manon Brouillette join our board of directors with her extensive experience establishing and growing technology leaders,” said Dax Dasilva, Lightspeed Founder and CEO. “Brouillette’s esteemed career transforming corporations for a new digital era adds another imperative voice of leadership that will drive our business forward.”
Lightspeed recently completed the acquisition of ShopKeep, a leading cloud commerce platform provider based in New York City.
Lightspeed powers complex small and medium-sized businesses with its cloud-based, omnichannel commerce platforms in over 100 countries. Lightspeed provides all-in-one solutions that drive innovation and digital transformation within the retail, hospitality and golf industries. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Lightspeed has staff located in Canada, USA, Europe, and Australia.
