Henri Tremblay
Senior reviser and Associate - 30 years’ experience
He’s the fount of knowledge, so utterly reliable that even the biggest clients know they never need lose a minute proofreading his texts. He’s also been instrumental to Versacom’s development, a pillar whose vision and confidence helped propel the firm into the major leagues right from the start.
By turns supervisor, client, and our president’s right-hand man and staunch ally, over the years this dual degree holder (science and translation) has tirelessly helped fine-tune our tools and work methods, and shared his wisdom with the promising new generation of professional revisers.
Sylvie Lavoie
Manager - 20 years’ experience

Stanislas Biron
Director - 10 years’ experience
Bitten by the Versacom bug as an intern during his college days, he joined the firm as a permanent (and decidedly welcome) team member after graduating from university. He’s the beaming whiz kid who co developed the exclusive management system that has garnered Versacom its R&D certification.
Today, he assumes official paternity of this exceptionally intelligent and well-integrated system, which he upgrades through hundreds of innovations each year. The result: end to-end language management technologies that ally unmatched strategic and operational expertise with the unprecedented ability to adapt to challenges as they occur. All we can say is, watch this space!
Adam Normandin
Director - 20 years’ experience
He’s the heart and soul of human capital management in every sense. The one who's responsible for seeking out, finding and attracting a constant stream of new experts in the face of a burgeoning hiring crisis. The one who also guides and coaches his colleagues on how to reconcile those two great imperatives, excellence and efficiency.
Each day, he helps make the workplace feel like home, working to create an environment that strikes the right balance between structure and flexibility—a balance that’s vital for success in professional translation.
