From Humble Beginnings to Global Impact
Born near Ottawa, Canada, Christiane’s early life was shaped by resilience. Diagnosed with rheumatic fever as a child and warned against motherhood, she defied the odds, giving birth to two sons—Benoît and Mathieu—and pursued a life of purpose through education and entrepreneurship. She worked to fund her own education, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree in administration, two post-graduate diplomas in finance, and an Executive MBA.
International Business Leadership

She later launched 6DT Consulting, now a top-tier cloud finance and IT advisory firm serving clients across Canada.
Courage in Business & Health
In 2019, Christiane was diagnosed with Stage 3C breast cancer—just months before the pandemic. Despite this life-altering news, she remained committed to her business and doubled its revenue that year. She later penned the inspiring book “Cancer Sucks…: The Journey of an Entrepreneur and Her Fight Against Cancer While Running Her Business” (2023), blending insights on business resilience with the realities of managing a chronic illness.
In 2023, she sold 6DT Consulting to her youngest son but continues to work globally as a CFO-for-hire and finance director, providing strategic support to companies facing complex financial and operational challenges.
