« After occupying roles as an actuary and then as a business development consultant, I wished to enhance my professional growth within the Optimum organization. The management team fully supported my return to school, allowing me to obtain my MBA which reinforced the skills that are now very useful in my position as Assistant Vice President. My own manager guides and encourages me on a daily basis in my career development and provides me with the tools I need to succeed. »

Philanthropy

Logos of Women in situation of violence foundations

Women who experience violence

Since 2022, Optimum and its employees support women who experience violence by offering financial support, donating various items, and volunteering for four regional organisations playing a key role in supporting and housing victims.

Nautilus symbol

The nautilus is a symbol of stability and sustainability. Much like the nautilus which adds new and larger chambers to its shell at the pace of its growth, the Group continues its measured expansion and consolidates its gains before initiating any new commitment. Since its foundation, the Group seeks a balanced development to ensure its long-term performance.

The nautilus of Optimum Financial Group in 1969. In 2019, a new nautilus modernized by the number of colored segments cut in half and the spacing between each segment slightly increased for optimal readability.
