Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quebecor, thanked Martin Carrier for his contribution to the company. In addition to his role in developing MELS' business and extending its reach, he launched a virtual production platform during the pandemic to offer local and foreign productions new creative possibilities.
"I leave with the knowledge that MELS is on the right track," said Martin Carrier. "During my tenure, I have had the opportunity to take on major challenges with highly skilled professionals, to get through a pandemic and to make a major technological shift towards virtual production.
