“I would like to thank Martin for his vision, creativity and ability to unite our partners around common objectives, as demonstrated by the ambitious 2023–2027 APM strategic plan, which was developed in collaboration with all our stakeholders,” said Nathalie Pilon, chairwoman of the APM board of directors.
“I am extremely grateful for the trust placed in me by the board of directors and the APM team, made up of committed, competent people dedicated to operating the present and building the future of the Port of Montreal. I have learned a great deal from the APM team, stakeholders in the maritime and port ecosystems, and representatives of the communities in which the port operates, and I am very proud to have worked with them in developing the Port of Montreal’s new strategic plan, which will make it an even more sustainable and resilient public service,” Imbleau said.
