CAROLINE SAULNIER
Biography

Driven by a passion for innovation, Caroline Saulnier spent five years moulding the future of Synetik design, a company working in occupational health and safety. Quite naturally, this field, combined with her passion, prompted her to seek perfection in ergonomics. In 2004, this young industrial design graduate of Université de Montréal began her Master's in Industrial Engineering to expand her knowledge.

However, Caroline Saulnier was not going to wait for the university's stamp of approval before making her mark in design. She was still studying when she designed Soffio, a cardiovascular resuscitation pad that earned her an award of excellence in the Association de l’industrie des technologies de la santé research and innovation competition. But it was her Stag 4 stool that enabled her to launch her business and become a familiar name to industry giants like Bombardier, Paccar, Boeing, IBM.

Her business acumen quickly earned Caroline Saulnier the community's recognition. Among other things, she has received numerous awards for entrepreneurship, including from the HEC-Poly-UdeM for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the Défi de l’entrepreneuriat jeunesse, the Concours Pierre-Péladeau en entrepreneurship and the contest Les Anges financiers. The IDM in turn celebrates this young woman's creative genius by presenting her with its 2007 CGI Young Designer Award.
