Biographie
As a proud Acadian born and raised in Petit-Rocher, New Brunswick, Marco has a big heart and a deep commitment to serving others, which has been the driving force behind his civic engagement from a young age
With a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the Université de Moncton, Marco has always had a passion for leadership and supporting others in finding the best solutions. During his time as a student, he co-founded Éveil PME and the Club Entrepreneur Étudiant, served as the Marketing Vice-President of the Youth Entrepreneurship Summit, acted as an Ambassador of the Pond Deshpande Center, and participated in the Top Talent competition by the Wallace McCain Institute.
Throughout his professional career, Marco has gained extensive political experience at both the provincial and federal levels. He has held progressive roles in the Government Members Office, where he served as a Research and Communications Officer and Senior Engagement Strategist. During this time, he was the staff lead for the Select Committee on Climate Change, built relationships with key stakeholders to support the Liberal caucus, and wrote statements and speeches for government members.
Marco also served as the Executive Assistant to the Minister of Labour, Employment and Population Growth, and subsequently the Minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture. In this role, he provided multifaceted advice and support to the Minister on key matters including constituent, regional, and organizational files. As the Executive Assistant to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Marco provided advice on procedures, key decisions, and communications in the Legislative Assembly and acted as a key liaison between the Speaker and the Official Opposition caucus.
In his role as the Atlantic Advisor for the Liberal Research Bureau, Marco played a liaison role between the minister’s office and the Members of Parliament in Atlantic Canada, allowing him to build many multisectoral relationships. Most recently, he served as the Director of Community and Economic Development for the Member of Parliament, Serge Cormier, gaining a deep understanding of the key projects and dynamics in the Restigouche-Chaleur region and mobilizing crucial projects that have greatly helped the region.
Always ready to mobilize his skills and experience to help, Marco has worked on over 10 election campaigns, spanning from Ontario to Newfoundland. Through dedicating a significant portion of his time to supporting local candidates and campaigns, Marco has gained a deep understanding of the democratic process, which has fueled his passion for civic engagement. He has equally developed a unique perspective on the political landscape in Canada, recognizing the challenges and opportunities that exist in each region and is keenly aware of the issues that matter most to voters.
Beyond politics, Marco is passionate about numerous causes, including Education, Tourism, Sustainable and Greener economies, and Immigration, among others. When he is not busy with politics, Marco sits on the community board for the Festival des rameurs, travels to new local or international communities, reads, builds new inventions with wood, plays guitar, and spends time with his fiancé Arianne and dog companion, Guacamole.
Marco’s personal and extensive professional experiences in provincial and federal politics have equipped him with a good understanding of the challenges facing the Restigouche-Chaleur region and the province of New Brunswick. His visionary ideas will be mobilized toward the enormous potential and growth of the region, driven by his unwavering commitment to creating a better future for his community and province.
Fier Acadien né et élevé à Petit-Rocher, au Nouveau-Brunswick, Marco a un grand cœur et un profond engagement à servir les autres, qui ont été la force motrice derrière son engagement civique dès un jeune âge.
Avec un baccalauréat en administration des affaires de l’Université de Moncton, Marco a toujours eu une passion pour le leadership et le soutien aux autres pour trouver les meilleures solutions. Pendant ses études, il a co-fondé Éveil PME et le Club Entrepreneur Étudiant, a été vice-président du marketing du Youth Entrepreneurship Summit, a été ambassadeur du Pond Deshpande Center et a participé au concours Top Talent du Wallace McCain Institute.
Tout au long de sa carrière professionnelle, Marco a acquis une vaste expérience politique aux niveaux provincial et fédéral. Il a occupé des postes progressifs au Bureau des membres du gouvernement, où il a été chargé de la recherche et de la communication, ainsi que stratège principal de l’engagement. Pendant cette période, il a l’employé chargé d’ appuyer les membres du Comité spécial sur les changements climatiques, établi des relations avec les intervenants clés pour soutenir le caucus libéral et écrit des déclarations et des discours pour les membres du gouvernement.
Marco a également été chef de cabinet du ministre du Travail, de l’Emploi et de la Croissance démographique, puis du ministre du Tourisme, du Patrimoine et de la Culture. Dans ce rôle, il a fourni des conseils et un soutien multi facettes au ministre sur des questions clés, notamment les dossiers des électeurs, régionaux et organisationnels. En tant que chef de cabinet du Président de l’Assemblée législative, Marco a fourni des conseils sur les procédures, les décisions clés et les communications à l’Assemblée législative et a agi en tant que liaison clé entre le Président et le caucus de l’Opposition officielle.
Dans son rôle de conseiller de l’Atlantique pour le Bureau de recherche libéral, Marco a joué un rôle de liaison entre les bureaux de ministres et les députés du Canada atlantique, lui permettant de nouer de nombreuses relations multisectorielles. Plus récemment, il a été directeur du développement communautaire et économique pour le député d’Acadie-Bathurst Serge Cormier, acquérant une compréhension approfondie des projets clés et des dynamiques de la région Restigouche-Chaleur et mobilisant des projets cruciaux qui ont grandement aidé la région.
Toujours prêt à mobiliser ses compétences et son expérience pour aider, Marco a travaillé sur plus de 10 campagnes électorales, couvrant l’Ontario à Terre-Neuve. En consacrant une part importante de son temps à soutenir des candidats locaux et des campagnes électorales, Marco a acquis une compréhension approfondie du processus démocratique, ce qui a alimenté sa passion pour l’engagement civique. Il a également développé une perspective unique sur le paysage politique au Canada, reconnaissant les défis et les opportunités qui existent dans chaque région, et est parfaitement conscient des questions qui comptent le plus pour les électeurs.
Au-delà de la politique, Marco est passionné par de nombreuses causes, notamment l’éducation, le tourisme, les économies durables et plus vertes et l’immigration, entre autres. Quand il n’est pas occupé par la politique, Marco siège au conseil communautaire du Festival des rameurs, voyage vers de nouvelles communautés locales ou internationales, lit, construit de nouvelles inventions en bois, joue de la guitare et passe du temps avec sa fiancée Arianne et son compagnon canin, Guacamole.
Les expériences personnelles et professionnelles étendues de Marco dans la politique provinciale et fédérale lui ont permis de bien comprendre les défis auxquels est confrontée la région de Restigouche-Chaleur et la province du Nouveau-Brunswick. Ses idées visionnaires seront mobilisées pour le potentiel énorme et la croissance de la région, stimulées par son engagement inébranlable à créer un avenir meilleur pour sa communauté et sa province.
