Julien Acosta - Director of Communications
After taking a break from politics for seven years, Julien has renewed his engagement in his favourite passion, politics, for which he appreciates for its complexities, it's never changing nature and the great potential that it has to do good. Having first worked with the Bloc Quebecois, which now seems like a long time ago, Julien started out as a writer at the leader’s office, and then as a political attaché for the MP for Saint-Lambert. He then started a new career path in January of 2011, by becoming the new communications director for the Conseil de presse du Québec, where he developed a keen understanding of Quebec’s media landscape. He holds a degree in philosophy and politics at the university of Ottawa.

Francis Khoury - Outreach
Fascinated by current events since his childhood, Francis
Passionné d’actualité depuis sa jeunesse, Francis was able to combine business with pleasure when he left his pure and applied science background to pursue a degree in political science at Université de Montréal. In 2015, he combined his master's studies with a first experience in active politics as an attaché to a federal MP. His time on the digital communications team of one of the major parties during the 2018 Quebec election also left a strong impression on him.
