Quebec-based electric propulsion manufacturer Vision Marine Technologies announced that it appointed Raffi Sossoyan chief financial officer. Sossoyan has 25 years of experience in global financial leadership, most recently as vice president, corporate treasury, at Velan, a manufacturer of industrial valves.
“Raffi’s robust experience in finance and operations within publicly listed companies, particularly his success at a [Toronto Stock Exchange-listed] entity, aligns perfectly with our strategic objectives as we escalate our manufacturing and delivery initiatives,” CEO Alex Mongeon said in a statement. “His leadership will be instrumental in fortifying Vision Marine’s financial strategies during this critical phase of our expansion.”
Sossoyan replaces CFO Kulwant Sandher, who led the company through the initial public offering process. He will continue as a consultant.
“Joining Vision Marine at such a pivotal juncture is a tremendous honor,” Sossoyan said in the statement. “I look forward to leveraging my experience in financial strategy and operations to support the company’s next stage of development.”
