Story

Sylvain trained as an engineer at the Universite de Sherbrooke and spent thirteen years at his first employer before joining Cisco, where he held leadership roles across commercial sales, global enterprise sales, marketing, strategy and planning. His last Cisco role put him in charge of global virtual sales and engineering, where he led the consolidation of the company's virtual sales organizations in the Americas. He moved to Uniphore to run its video AI business and now leads growth initiatives from Nashville, speaking publicly on emotion AI and on what emotional intelligence changes about a sales conversation.
