| Allen Harbour - Vice-President (pending)Prior to joining Xerox Canada, Allen Harbour spent several months enduring hot humid heat working as an instrumentation and control technician at a paper mill! So on January 1, 1976, he said good-bye to the paper mill and joined Xerox as a young multi-product technician in Port-Cartier, Quebec. In 1986, he took on the role of Regional Technical Specialist (OSR) for the North Shore region. In the fall of 1989, he joined the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean–Charlevoix group as a Service Manager. In 1994, Allen relocated to Quebec City, where he had the opportunity to implement the autonomous work group strategy while serving as an Organizational Effectiveness Manager (OEM). From 1999 to 2000, he managed the technical specialist group for Eastern Canada and subsequently, became a Technical Service Manager for various groups in Quebec until his retirement in March 2011. Today, Allen leads a very active lifestyle: cycling in the summer, snowshoeing in the winter, and hiking during the in-between seasons. He is an avid fan of flight simulators and Formula 1 racing. In between all his outdoor activities, he loves to watch movies and spends a little too much time in front of the television! |
