Achievement Awards statuette

Every year, our parent company AVENIR GLOBAL presents the Achievement Awards to employees who, through their exceptional contributions, reinforced the Firm’s values and vision and promoted its growth and leadership position in the industry. This year, the awards were presented during local virtual ceremonies for each of our offices.

Among the nominations submitted by their colleagues, 87 laureates were selected this year for their accomplishments in six categories.

In addition to the winners in local categories, AVENIR GLOBAL also presented global recognition awards :

  • Daniel Saumur, chief information officer at AVENIR GLOBAL, was awarded the AVENIR GLOBAL Way Award, which is presented to the employee who best represents the Firm’s values and embodies our brand by applying bold thinking to solve challenges and establishing trusted relationships with clients and partners.

  • Megan Gaffney, vice-president at SHIFT Communications, received the Luc Beauregard Award, dedicated to the memory of our founder, which is presented to one of the AVENIR GLOBAL Achievement Awards winners whose stellar nomination and strong performance during the year truly stood out among all local laureates.
