STGM reaches a significant milestone in its evolution today with the appointment of five new partners to its leadership team.
This announcement comes as part of the gradual retirement of Jean-Yves Montminy, co-founder and a defining figure of the firm. He will continue to contribute to STGM as a strategic advisor, supporting a thoughtful and collaborative transition.
