Board of directors:
Éric Prido, eng.
President
Responsible for water, environnement, and agriculture
Eric trained in process engineering and water resources at l'Insitut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. His expertise lies in hydromorphology, biostructural engineering (génie végétal), wastewater treatment, sediment transport, riverine ecology, geomorphology, aquatic and wastewater chemistry, flood control, hydrology and ecohydrology. The better part of his 11 year career was dedicated to the study of surface water flow, the pollution and degradation of waterways and the implementation of solutions for their restoration. It also focused on managing and protecting against erosion and flooding. As cofounder of the cooperative with Rapahël Leblond, Éric was also able to aseemble a team of experts which now make up EXM.
Michel Zambrano

Responsible for renewable energy.
Michel obtained his master in renewable energy and energy efficiency from L'École de technologie supérieure de Montréal in April 2011 . He did so while partnering on a project with Hydro-Quebec. He is a specialist in the design, modeling, and simulation of mechanical, energetic, and technical-economic systems for different streams of energy production that can be analysed in a hybrid system; turbines, small-scale hydro, windmills, solar pannels, engine generators, etc.
Marc Prido. ing.
Director of operations in France
Treasurer, general secretary
Secrétaire général
Responsible for
industry and mines
Marc is an electromechanical engineer trained at the ESME Sudria, he was trained in electrotechnics, automatiion, instrumentation, management of multidisciplenary projects, and business and cost management. He has worked for 35 years in the manufacturing, petroleum, and nuclear industries as director of the ''Expert, Conseil et accompagnement'' division. Likewise, he has worked as project director for multidisciplinary projects in the energy sector, MAC (Major Automation Contractor) projects and CIM integration. He is the founder of a PPO approach (Product Processes Optimization) for sustainable development processes of companies and their life cycles.
Patrice Leroux, eng.
Administrator
Specialist rural engineering and water managment
Patrice is a five years experienced engineer, who has completed both of his two bachelor degrees (Environment, major in water management and Bioressources Engineering) at McGill University. Project manager at EXM Coop, he works on surface runoff water management plans for municipalities. He regularly works on fish habitat restoration and stream banks stabilisation projects using bio-engineering techniques. He also performs hydraulic analysis for drafts and estimates of municipal hydraulic structures such as culverts.
Organizational structure: a tailored and multidisciplenary team.
The team that makes up XMN is a veritable multidisciplenary cast composed of professionals linked to the cooperative. We are constantly adapting our teams to keep in line with the needs of our projects. Below is an example a possible team put together by XMN which could be at your disposal.
