About Jean
I came to Canada at 13. Nobody handed me the rules — so I learned them.
I studied business administration and built my career as a leader and manager across many industries, with deep experience on the financial side, most recently in auto finance. In 2022 I brought that experience to mortgages. Today I’m a broker with Équipée Finance, a speaker and life and business coach, an author and a business owner.
My mission is simple: make the hidden rules of money visible, so families can buy with confidence and build wealth that lasts for generations.
