Rencontrer Mathieu Foran, Business Development Officer, specializing in Video Games, AI, and New Media!

As a Business Development Officer, specializing in Video Games, AI, and New Media, Mathieu says his favorite part of his job is everything client facing! Working for the public motivates him and makes him feel like he’s making a difference.

“I like solving problems for them, offering support, and doing everything I can to help islanders with their businesses.”

Born and raised on the Acadian coast of New Brunswick, he lived in Montreal for 22 years, so he considers himself half Acadian and half Québécois. He still considers himself new to the island, so he loves doing road trips and discovering all that PEI has to offer. He remarks that his hobbies have changed since he moved from Montreal, and he now loves nature, gardening, learning about country living and taking care of his home. He also practices Ashtanga Yoga every day!

Mathieu says his favourite travel spot was Morocco right before the pandemic, specifically Tangier, because he was completely out of his element!

“Sometimes we get set in our ways and whenever I’m travelling somewhere foreign it helps me observe how I’m living from a different perspective. I’m grateful for all the beautiful places we got to see and all the friendly Moroccans we got to spend time with.”
