Jean-François LeBlanc, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence advisor

Bridging technology, business risk and management decisions. Personal, independent and human advisory.

The founder

Over 30 years making technology work for businesses

An entrepreneur since 2001, Jean-François LeBlanc founded Cyberallié to give SMBs what they most often lack: an independent perspective that can explain complex issues plainly and help leadership decide.

He works comfortably with business owners, managers, privacy officers, executive directors and IT providers. His approach is educational, rigorous and calm: building confidence, not fear.

A volunteer mentor to entrepreneurs since 2012, he was named 2024 Mentor of the Year at the Gatineau Chamber of Commerce's Excelor Gala.

Deliberately human-sized

Cyberallié is not a monitoring centre or a large multidisciplinary firm. It is an independent advisory practice built on personal support. When your situation calls for complementary expertise - legal, technical or insurance - we help you find the right partner.
