Team ARIANNE
Nobody understands relocation like we do. The ARIANNE team combines personal service and attention with a dynamic array of skills and international experience. We understand relocation because each of us has gone through the adventure of moving from one continent to another, taking the great leap with our own families and children. Established in 1997, ARIANNE is based in Montréal, Québec, but also has ties in France, Germany, Spain and California.
Manon Dumas
Founder – Head of Excellence
Canadian, born and bred, twenty-five years ago, I launched ARIANNE, dedicating myself to helping families settle in Canada and enabling organizations to harness global talent. My work, deeply rooted in a fascination with cultural diversity, has been enriched by travels with my family. In my golden years I plan on creating short films that will showcase the myriad of beautiful cultural stories I’ve encountered. Let’s embark on this narrative journey together!
Sophia Hoareau
Partner – Head of Growth
Seychelles-born and Canada-nurtured, I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 11, turning every challenge into a thriving opportunity. After founding and selling a leading Canadian immigration and relocation firm, I now channel my passion and expertise into propelling ARIANNE forward. And when not strategizing? You’ll find me dodging defenders on the soccer field and spending time with my big and beautiful family!
Ambre-Océane Lavesque
Partner – Head of People
Masters in HR, with a career that’s taken me from the vibrant cities of Canada to the historic landscapes of France, I’ve dedicated over a decade to mastering Global Mobility, HR, Recruitment, and Operations Management. I thrive on helping organizations relocate the world’s finest talents to Canada, ensuring their journey is as seamless as their integration. Outside the office? You’ll find me hiking up a mountain, seeking new peaks and perspectives.
The story of ARIANNE (Ariadne and Theseus)
ARIANNE takes its name from the Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus. In this timeless legend, Theseus slays the fearsome Minotaur, and Ariadne leads him out of the labyrinth with her golden thread. Ariadne’s heroic role in rescuing Theseus is a lot like what we do at ARIANNE, leading our clients out of the maze, so they can live happily ever after.
The hero’s journey begins with a flurry of excitement and enthusiasm. But even the bravest warriors will encounter obstacles and get discouraged. That’s where we step in, to lend a hand and offer a bit of wisdom, helping you overcome the challenges, avoid the headaches, capture the treasure, and arrive safely in your new land.
