I have been working in Montreal since 1990 on machine translation, interactive tv, web, mobile, bioinformatics and social search. In the past 10 years and until joining Google to manage the Montreal office I founded and managed 4 tech start-ups: E-Concept, W4 Technologies (acquired by CGI), Sequence Bioinformatics and Sequence Technologies. I am married to Line (http://twitter.com/LineAtallah) and we have 2

year are running the marathon (low probability of success) and learning kite surfing.
