The people behind LJIA.

In 2026, he ran in the riding of Granby in the Quebec general election, an experience that brought him closer to citizens and helped him better understand the realities and issues of his community.

His path is marked by a desire to encourage young people's participation in society and to give them more opportunities to get involved.

Today he founds La Jeunesse s'implique en Affaires, an organization that aims to bring young people closer to the business world and support their professional and entrepreneurial development.

He serves as its chair of the board and president-founder.

Through this organization, he wants to create opportunities for networking, collaboration and exchange among young people, entrepreneurs, professionals and economic stakeholders.

His commitment rests on initiative, perseverance, leadership, responsibility and community involvement.

His interest in real estate brokerage, entrepreneurship and economic development also fuels his desire to contribute to his region's vitality.

As chair of La Jeunesse s'implique en Affaires, Marc-Antoine Huet-Mailly wants to give young people a platform to get involved, grow their network and take an active place in the business world.

He interned at Morgan Stanley, on the Fixed Income Technology team, a first striking immersion into the world of finance and technology.

Jack is also co-founder of SAT Duels, a platform that turns SAT preparation into a competitive game. The idea came to him in his first year of CEGEP, and he develops it today with four other co-founders. What drives him: tutoring and exam prep are expensive, and too many talented young people cannot afford them. For him, success should not depend on your family's budget or the contacts you have. He wants to democratize access to a quality education.

A recipient of the Governor General's Academic Medal and named student-athlete of the year, he has always sought to balance both ends: excellence in class and commitment on the field. Captain of his soccer team for several years and a college-level volleyball player (D2), he learned on the field what discipline, consistency and teamwork demand. Bilingual in French and English, he enjoys competitive challenges, whether athletic, academic or entrepreneurial.

His leadership rests on initiative, rigour and the desire to build with others. His interest in quantitative finance fuels a vision that is both analytical and ambitious.

At LJIA, Jack wants to build bridges between the next generation and the business world, and to share what he learns along the way. His goal: that every young entrepreneur in Quebec has access to the resources, network and guidance needed to launch, because together, we go further.

Fascinated by entrepreneurship and international trade, he sees financial management and governance as excellent levers to understand how the business world works and to prepare his future projects on a global scale.

Discipline, ambition and consistency guide his days. A fan of weight training and running, it is in effort and perseverance that he draws the energy to push his limits.

At LJIA, Thomas puts his strategic rigour at the service of the next generation, to make sure every young person has the guidance, resources and momentum needed to turn ideas into tangible success.

In 2026, he brought Castflow to production, a SaaS platform built to automate audition management for talent agencies. That entrepreneurial achievement let him combine software architecture, market development and the resolution of complex business problems to optimize his B2B clients' operations.

His technology path is marked by exceptional analytical rigour and a constant drive to design high-performing solutions. He is passionate about turning pure logic into concrete applications, exploring complex simulations, advanced mathematical models, and the integration of music theory and audio processing directly into his code.

He co-founds Castflow today, a technology company whose mission is to modernize and make profitable the workflows of the arts sector, replacing dated processes with cutting-edge engineering.

There he serves as co-founder and software architect, leading both product development and innovation strategy.

Through this company and his mandate at the head of LJIA, he wants not only to create elegant and reliable tools, but also to energize the local entrepreneurial ecosystem by building bridges between the next generation and the corporate world.

His leadership and business approach rest on initiative, perseverance, precision and iron discipline, qualities he cultivates rigorously in his studies in natural sciences (engineering profile) and through earning his black belt in Shorin-ryu karate and Kobudo.

His marked interest in economics, applied mathematics and classical music (which he studies and performs on classical guitar) fuels a global, structured vision.

At the head of LJIA and Castflow's technology development, Charbel Kassab wants to inspire a new generation of creators, push the limits of business technology and establish himself as an essential leader of tomorrow's entrepreneurship.

As returning officer for LJIA's constituent general assembly, Justin Dugal ensures the impartiality and proper conduct of the electoral procedures. This position is temporary and independent: he sits neither on the board of directors nor on the organization's management, and his mandate is renewed annually.
