Montréal, October 21 – Transfert is pleased to welcome Véronique Yelle, Ph.D., as Project Director. Known for her meticulousness, collaborative leadership, and advanced expertise in social acceptability, Véronique will play a key role in driving forward strategic, community-focused projects and enhancing Transfert’s know-how in community relations and social performance.
“Véronique will be a major asset for Transfert. Her expertise in social acceptability in the natural resources sector, her experience working with Indigenous peoples, and her in-depth understanding of institutional and government environments all enrich our approach and strengthen our capacity to fulfill our mission: building bridges between project initiators and communities,” said Alex Craft, Founding Partner and Chair of the Board.
With a background in forest engineering and a Ph.D. in forest sciences, Véronique’s academic work focused on social acceptability in forest management.
