KINGSEY
FALLS, QC, Aug. 30, 2023 /CNW/ - Cascades Inc.
(TSX: CAS), a leader in the recovery and manufacturing of
eco-friendly packaging and hygiene products, is delighted to
announce that two of the company's female leaders have been named
to Pulp & Paper Canada magazine's prestigious 2023 Top 10 Under
40 list, which highlights the leadership and achievements of
employees under the age of 40 in the Canadian pulp and paper
industry.
A newcomer to our industry, Cynthia has put her 15 years of
experience in aeronautical operations to good use. Her extensive
knowledge has enabled her to quickly understand the inner workings
of our business and to master the many processes in place at
Cascades. She was able to unite and mobilize her entire team in the
reorganization of her unit. Inspired by a Women in Governance
event, she also harnessed her leadership skills to demonstrate to
the many immigrant women on her sorting line team that they too can
progress within the company. Cynthia embodies what an operations
manager should aspire to: a rigorous and dedicated individual
capable of uniting her team to achieve common goals.
After graduating in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Business
Administration and a master's degree in Organizational Development,
Marie-Karine joined Cascades' Change Management team. As soon as
she arrived, she excelled with her charisma and the speed with
which she forged bonds with her colleagues, regardless of their job
position. Over the past twelve years, she and her team have
developed a structured change management approach unique to
Cascades, which is still admired by many companies. Her business
acumen and excellent understanding of operations have led her to
get involved in major projects that have significantly benefited
her peers. Her leadership skills have enabled her to hold a number
of positions in several of the company's divisions since 2022.
Marie-Karine is a role model and a true representation of what an
HR business partner should be within an organization.
"Today, I would like to pay tribute to these two remarkable
women, who embody all the talent of the younger generation and give
us confidence in the future. Cascades is not only proud to see its
young female leaders stand out in its ranks, but also to see their
sustained efforts recognized outside the company," said Cascades
President and Chief Executive Officer Mario
Plourde.
