From 1973 until 2002, Pierre has been a shareholder, officer, and employee for a number of service companies in the areas of protective coatings and cathodic protection.  At various times throughout these years, all of these companies were eventually sold to third parties, and hence Pierre has officially been “retired” since March/2002.

Throughout this career in corrosion control, Pierre has been an active member of NACE International.  From 1975-80, Pierre held offices in the Edmonton Section, and from 1980-86, held offices in the Canadian Region, being Director of the Canadian region from 1983-86.  Pierre was the Canadian Region Career Development Chair, and from 1989-96, was a member of various NACE committees (Awards, Policy, Education, Nominating, Certification, Finance), and served as Chair of the Awards Committee from 1996-99, and Chair of the Finance Committee from 1999-2001.  Pierre was the Vice President of NACE for the 2002-03 term, and President of NACE for the 2003-04 term. 

With the resignation of Jeff Littleton as Executive Director in January of 2004, at the expiry of Pierre ’s term as President on April 2nd, the Board appointed Pierre Interim Executive Director of NACE, a position he will hold until a permanent Executive Director is hired.
