Marie Grégoire is an experienced executive and communicator with an unconventional career path. A lifelong learner, she has made her mark in the many fields in which she has worked.

After working in the family business and founding her own company, she went on to hold several executive positions with economic and social enterprises. A founding partner of TACT Intelligence-conseil, she also helped relaunch the business magazine Premières en affaires. She served as an elected Member of the National Assembly for Berthier in 2002-2003 and has featured as a radio and TV columnist for over 15 years. She has shared her knowledge by teaching at the Université du Québec à Montréal and by contributing to numerous publications.

Actively engaged in her community, she has served on several boards of directors, including that of the Literacy Foundation. She is currently a board member for the Fondation Carmand Normand.

In 2021, the range and diversity of her experience led her to helm BAnQ (Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec). In this role, and since 2024 in her additional capacity as President of the Réseau Francophone Numérique (RFN), she has rallied key players towards the shared goal of making Québec, and the wider French-speaking world, a learning society driven by the archival, library and information community, for the benefit of all.
