Testimonials
Francois has a very straightforward, methodical and persuasive approach when providing career coaching. During our coaching sessions, he handled the issues in a systematic manner, helping me to identify my career goals and to develop a strategic approach to choosing the most advantageous and profitable career path. I appreciate his honest, weighed opinion delivered without unnecessary embellishment, as it helped me to take a fresh look at my career opportunities that lie ahead of me.

I had the chance of meeting François during our time at RGU and throughout that period he never failed to surprise me with the outstanding quality of his academic work and, even more importantly, with the kind and approachable manner in which he conducted himself. His willingness to help others was truly uplifting and I'm quite sure many students in that year owe him a debt of gratitude. Not often excellence goes hand in hand with a team-player mentality but in François' case it most certainly does.
Maurillio Addario
Analytics & Software Engineering Director
François Fournier was the Knowledge Transfer Associate on a project to mine data on drilling rigs and wells. He applied a bayesian network structure learning approach to building a model capable of predicting which rigs would have the best times to drilling depth for planned projects. François did an excellent job, achieving a successful prototype tool, validated against industrial data, a PhD and some academic publications in the process. I'm very happy to recommend François.

Director, National Subsea Centre, at Robert Gordon University
I worked with François on a big database and user interface project. He was serious about the project and worked hard on it. He was confident about his analysis and had a good understanding of the company needs.
