Global Managing Partner, Ventures, Ecosystem and Acquisitions IBM Consulting and ex President of IBM Canada, YPO Member
It is fitting that after Canadian and before US Thanksgiving, I would share with all my connections and followers that I will be retiring from IBM on December 31 of this year. I am thankful to IBM for the last 12 amazing years (+16 years the first time around) of my career. I am especially thankful to the great leaders, teammates, business partners, clients and my wife and partner Carol Anne Mazerolle, who made this chapter of my career so fulfilling. I plan to continue to serve and develop myself by focusing on for Profit & Nonprofit Board work, Advisory roles, Tech Entrepreneur coaching and of course my new granddaughter! Stay tune for a longer post to follow at the end of December.
Congratulations, Claude! It was an absolute pleasure working with you – so many amazing memories. Wishing you the very best!
Bravo pour l’ensemble de ta carrière Claude et pour la suite des choses ! Tu salueras ta douce de ma part aussi 👍
Claude Guay, Eng., ICD Congratulations to a fantastic colleague, teammate, and friend. We will miss you!

It's been an honor to work with you and learn from you. Best of luck on the journey ahead mon ami. Holler when in NYC!
Claude, Je te souhaite une retraite très bien méritée. Je suis certain qu’elle sera aussi bien remplie que ta carrière qui fut rayonnante! Je te remercie pour tous le support et le mentorat dont j’ai pu bénéficier de ta part tout au long de ma carrière chez IBM. Nous avons fait quelques batailles ensemble donc SNC-Lavalin, notre premier deal qui fut un succès. Merci aussi pour le support de la pratique Oracle, tu as fait une différence pour nos succès au Canada. Passe du bon temps avec tes proches!
Thank you for being an inspiring leader, you have been an amazing role model to us all! I loved the years we spent at Bee School, was a treat for me as you were always 100 percent present with us, and I learned so much from you. Thank you for investing in your organic growth, and having a tremendous impact on my trajectory in my career. You are an exceptional leader, one that knows how to create a growth mindset environment, forcing us all to fail, learn and grow. I look forward to mentoring and coaching discussions in your new chapter in life!
Félicitations Claude, persuadée que tu demeura actif , je te souhaite de profiter du privilège d’être grand parent et beaucoup d’escapades avec ta belle complice Carol Ann . Je garde des excellents souvenirs de nos échanges et ton leadership a contribué grandement à enrichir le quotidien de nombreux IBMers. Prend soin de toi . Au plaisir .
