As the founder of Méridian Strategic Advisors, I specialize in confidential transactions and strategic solutions for high-net-worth investors, helping sophisticated clients navigate complex business and property decisions with complete discretion. Having guided over $450 million in commercial real estate transactions throughout Southern California, I advise private investors and family offices through complex property decisions with the same strategic insight I would want if my own capital were at stake. This approach has built a 92% client retention rate and an average portfolio performance increase of 18% for clients who implement my optimization strategies.

What sets me apart is my ability to think far beyond traditional solutions. When conventional approaches fail, I draw on extensive business experience across multiple industries to create innovative pathways forward. I've expanded my practice to serve as a strategic advisor to CEOs facing unusually complex challenges—whether it's raising capital for life sciences ventures, restructuring distressed assets, or developing creative go-to-market strategies that transform seemingly impossible situations into profitable opportunities.

My background includes institutional investment advisory experience at RBC Dominion Securities, where I advised sophisticated investors before founding Méridian Strategic Advisors. This foundation, combined with my business administration and political science education from Université de Sherbrooke, allows me to approach each client's situation with both financial acumen and strategic thinking that goes well beyond property transactions.

I focus exclusively on confidential, off-market transactions involving properties typically valued from $5 million to $75 million—office buildings, hotels, mixed-use properties, industrial assets, and development land—particularly situations requiring creative solutions and complete discretion. My expertise proves valuable when successful entrepreneurs and established family offices face complex challenges requiring someone who can reimagine how an asset fits into a broader wealth strategy.

By working with a select group of 12-15 clients annually, I maintain direct involvement throughout every engagement. This approach allows me to dedicate the time and resources necessary to develop truly innovative solutions—whether that means creating an entirely new business model to make a property marketable, structuring equity partnerships to prevent foreclosure, or developing investment memorandums that turn distressed situations into attractive opportunities for sophisticated investors.

Originally from Québec, I bring a unique cross-border perspective to business challenges, operating fluently in both English and French. My fluency in both U.S. and Canadian markets creates distinct advantages for clients with cross-border holdings or tax considerations. My clients appreciate my direct communication style, unwavering discretion, and willingness to advise against acquisitions that don't align with their long-term wealth preservation objectives.
