I have been the head of TV5 Québec Canada for nine years. It's a non-profit corporation much smaller than CBC/Radio-Canada, which is where I worked previously.
One of the things I've learned in my management roles at this company is the extraordinary agility that can be developed under such conditions, as well as the benefits of having collaborative relationships with other public broadcasters. It's the very nature of TV5 to be in contact with public broadcasters in other countries, such as certain European countries, but also with Canadian public broadcasters.
This means I have relationships with Télé-Québec, the Société Radio-Canada and TFO, amongst others, but also with our minority francophone producer partners and francophone producers in Quebec. It's thanks to this network of collaborative relationships that a small organization can achieve such great results.
