Marie-France Bellemare - General Manager

Marie-France holds a bachelor's degree in social work and a master's degree in cooperative and community development management from IRECUS, Université de Sherbrooke. She has worked for nearly 12 years in local development, notably as coordinator of a social development roundtable and economic development agent at the CDEC Centre-Sud/Plateau Mont-Royal.

After a period with the social insertion enterprise le Boulot vers as Assistant General Manager, she joined the TIESS team as a transfer advisor to combine three of her passions, social economy, innovation and local development.

At TIESS since 2016, her work has focused mainly on scaling up, measuring the social impact of social economy enterprises and the circular economy. There she piloted the project Social economy and circular economy: potential synergies and promising business models.

She is the main author of two guides, Changer d’échelle en économie sociale and Quand la franchise devient sociale, manuel de fabrication.

In February 2021, Marie-France picked up the flame from the hands of Agnes Beaulieu, who has co-founded and run Insertech since 1998.
