48e Nord International is strengthening its support for exporters, building a multidisciplinary team dedicated to helping Abitibi-Témiscamingue companies grow their markets, along with mining companies across Québec.

The organization is now supported by a complementary team: Raphaël Piché, commercialization advisor and operations coordinator; Jonathan Davies, commercialization and communications advisor; Marc-André Dulude, commercialization and export advisor; and Valérie Lemay, executive director. Together, they bring a range of expertise that allows for coherent, structured support focused on concrete results.

Marc-André Dulude – Turning strategy into concrete action

As commercialization and export advisor, Marc-André Dulude supports companies in structuring and rolling out their market development efforts.

With more than 18 years of experience in strategic communications and digital marketing, he has worked across sectors including finance, retail, agrotourism, professional services, and industry. He’s helped organizations sharpen their positioning, build integrated strategies, and strengthen their web presence.

His agency background shaped a rigorous approach: reading business challenges sharply, clarifying strategic direction, and executing with discipline. He now supports SMEs in structuring their growth and accessing new markets, particularly internationally.

Known for turning complex ideas into plain language, Marc-André’s approach is built around understanding, alignment, and informed decisions. He relies on clear, structured discussions to propose realistic solutions suited to each organization’s reality.

Outside of work, he has a strong interest in technological developments and economic trends, and finds balance through the outdoors, hiking, cycling, music, and film.

A team built to serve local businesses

With a stronger, well-rounded team in place, 48e Nord International is doubling down on its commitment to helping the region’s companies grow.

Combining expertise in strategy, commercialization, and communications allows the organization to offer support that’s rigorous, accessible, and grounded in business realities. Driven by values of collaboration, boldness, and authenticity, the organization continues its mission: propelling local companies into new markets through concrete, human, and adaptable approaches to today’s challenges.
