CONGRATULATION_MESSAGES
20 ans et quel impact! On en a vécu des choses depuis mon arrivée il y a 10 ans et tu avais déjà 10 ans d’accomplissements marqués avant! Tu peux être fier de ta contribution au succès de CAE comme CEO. Peu de CEOs demeurent à la tête d’une entreprise si longtemps, bravo!! Je garde d’excellents souvenirs de notre collaboration au fil des ans, particulièrement lors des célébrations du 70e et 75e anniversaire de CAE! Merci pour tout Marc!
Helene V. Gagnon
Dear Marc
I would like to congratulate you for your achievements during 20 years at CAE. As a Healthcare employee, it was exciting to become a part of CAE, to see and experience the company culture and Canadian way of doing things and it has been great to be part of CAE for all these years. What CAE has become and how people interact and collaborate in the company surely is something that has been lived and fostered right from the top — so your influence to CAE is more than just the economic value of the company and I would like to thank you for this.
All the best for in your next professional adventures, Jochen
Jochen Vollmer

Félicitations Marc pour ta longue et fructueuse carrière a CAE, il y a de quoi être très fier et peu de CEO peuvent se vanter d’un tel parcours et d’une si belle croissance. Sous ton leadership, CAE a cru vers de nouveaux horizons tout en ayant les employés et leur bien-être au coeur des décisions. Sur une autre note, je garde un excellent souvenir de mon vol en ta compagnie au profit de Centraide qu’en témoigne la photo ci jointe. Je te souhiate bien du succès et du bonheur dans tes futurs projets. Bravo! Marine

‘”You can take the man out of CAE, but you can’t take CAE out of the man!” Félicitations pour une impressionnante carrière. Une carrière qui, tout comme la mienne, trace ses origines au programme des Cadets de l’aviation royale. Per ardua ad astra! Merci de ta confiance, de tes conseils et de ta passion contagieuse pour l’aviation. Je continue d’apprendre de toi et je vais absorber tout ce que je pourrai au cours des prochains mois. J’apprécie sincèrement tes contributions et les sacrifices que tu as faits pour faire rayonner CAE. C’est inspirant, et nous allons tout faire pour continuer à répandre ta passion pour l’aviation et pour le rayonnement de l’industrie de l’aérospatiale canadienne dans le monde.
Daniel Lauzon
La première fois que j’ai vu Marc était presque 20 ans en arrière quand il est venu à Mirabel pour rencontrer notre groupe pour la première fois. C’était une journée mémorable lorsque Marc a mentionné que notre travail à Mirabel était très apprécié et apporte beaucoup à CAE 🙂 Merci Marc pour tout…
Rabah Chaarani

It has been a pleasure working for CAE under your leadership. I am proud that our CEO is a Phenom 300 pilot and your support of ECTS has been nothing less than incredible!

Marc,
Congratulations on 20 years, a milestone! I want to thank you for taking the time to accept my request to meet you! Not only was this a bit odd I’m sure, but you took 45 minutes out of your day to chat about AAM and the new eVTOL aircraft. Your personal interest in my work was heartening and I’m so happy to have met you.
Best Wishes!
Marilyn Pearson
Marc, sincere congratulations on your 20 years of service at CAE. Your journey has been marked by remarkable achievements and continuous success. I recall the announcement of your appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and as a member of our Board in November 13, 2008. Then, less than a year later, the announcement of your appointment as CAE’s President and CEO in September 2009. Throughout CAE’s 60th, 70th, and 75th anniversaries, one thing has remained constant: your unwavering commitment to our company and its employees. Your leadership and passion have been truly inspiring! Thank you Marc, wishing you every happiness for the future!
Heather Dane

Félicitations Marc. 20 ans déjà !!! Je me souviens de la première réunion dans l’auditorium où nous faisions connaissance avec notre nouveau CEO. Que de choses se sont passées depuis. Le plus beau moment dont je me souviens fut durant la pandémie alors que nous avions tous perdus nos repères, nos habitudes et que Marc faisait des réunions à distance et se montrait rassurant, un peu comme un abri dans la tempête. Lors d’une de ces réunions, Marc s’est confié brièvement à propos de sa famille et ça m’a profondément touché d’avoir un aperçu de l’humain derrière l’homme d’affaire. J’aurai aimé que ce moment chaleureux s’étire un peu plus pour connaitre une autre facette de notre président, autre que celle que nous connaissons à travers les médias.
Helene Simon
Navigating a large, complicated, and successful global team isn’t easy. You have made it look that way and always with a smile at the end of the day. Thank you for your leadership and encouragement through it all. Quite a legacy, indeed.

Merci Marc pour ces 20 années avec nous et en tant que notre président à CAE !
Ta passion pour l’aviation est contagieuse, merci pour ta visite au musée de l’aviation à Ottawa dans le cadre de Centraide. Une carrière impressionnante remplie de belles réalisations dont plusieurs avec nous les employés de CAE.
Un GRAND Merci ! Tu vas nous manquer. Je te souhaite beaucoup de bonheur dans tes projets futurs et de retrouver ce temps si précieux.
Fanny Dube
Some brief encounters have a lasting impact. I am grateful for the small chat we had on the 11th of December during the end-of-year celebration event at the cafeteria. Your words inspired me more than I was expecting. I mentioned that CAE is a great place to work if you love solving puzzles. And as you grow and move up, you get a bigger view of the puzzle. And then I said “It must be much more complex and hard at your level.” You responded in your usual calm and optimistic manner “Not really. The problems are different but not more difficult.” There’s a lot of wisdom in that. Your perspective has helped me approach challenges with a more balanced and positive mindset. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to make such encounters possible and especially for the contribution you have made to make CAE a successful company and a great place to work!
Mikael Joukakelian

Congratulations Marc on your 20 years at CAE.
Do you remember the days when you were still our Group President, you used to walk down a corridor filled with desks on your way to your office? Back then, I was just a young engineer sitting at the edge of that hallway; and you always greeted me with a smile in the morning as you passed by my desk. I was flattered by your friendiness. After you became our CEO, when you mentioned that employees are the utmost important asset of the company’s success, I was instantly sold that you will guide CAE to the next level. Now, looking back over the years under your leadership, you have truly done amazing things for CAE. Thank you for all that you have done for us! What an accomplishment! Marc, you are a fantastic leader! You are a legend! It is such a great honor for me to witness and to be part of your success during the last two decades.
This has been such a wonderful journey. However, all good things come to an end. I wish you all the best in the future. Yiu Bong (Jackson) Poon

Félicitations pour tes 20 ans chez CAE Marc! Je garde de bons souvenirs de ta présence aux conférences HPSN de CAE Santé ainsi que notre première rencontre lorsqu’on était ‘tout jeune’ en 2005; Suzanne Roy nous a présenté tard en soirée lors d’un AOG particulièrement difficile que je tentais de régler, j’ai beaucoup apprécié ton empathie!
Chantal Messier
Congratulations Mr. Parent on your 20-year milestone with CAE. We are fortunate to have your guidance, passion and belief in us as a team. Wishing you continued success and well wishes, what an amazing acheivement!
Deborah Marzano
Félicitations pour vos 20 ans à CAE! On s’est croisé à quelques reprises dans les couloirs/ascenseur à CAE. À chaque fois, vous avez glissé un Bonjour et nous avons échangés quelques mots malgré que vous ne me connaissiez pas. Au début du COVID alors que seul l’Italie et la Chine avaient fermé leur frontière. Les pays du GCC ont fermé en bloc leurs frontières. Nous pensions que cette fermeture allait être de courte durée vu que ces pays comptent beaucoup sur le travail des expats. J’étais donc pris en Arabie Saoudite. Puis, les autres pays dans le monde se sont mis à fermer un après l’autre. Clifford n’a pas voulu que je demande au chauffeur de me conduire à la frontière des UAE (si BAE avait été capable de faire ouvrir la frontière avec les UAE). Alors, vous avez donné le OK afin de faire venir un jet privé en Arabie Saoudite. Quelques années plus tard, j’ai travaillé avec votre fils (Alexandre) à Tabuk. Je ne l’ai appris que l’année passée quand vous êtes venu sur le site de Saudi Hawk et que vous parliez avec l’IS du site. Votre fils aurait eu plusieurs occasions de me dire que vous étiez son père puisqu’il y avait beaucoup de pression sur lui. Mais à aucun moment. il n’a tenté de se justifier de cette façon. C’est tout à son honneur! Merci beaucoup pour ces 20 ans et j’en profite pour vous souhaiter de belles aventures dans vos nouveaux défis de l’après-CAE
Alexandre Roof

My warmest congratulations on your 20 year anniversary with CAE, Marc. It has been a true honor and pleasure to serve under your leadership. In particular, I would like to thank you for being so bold with growth and expansion over the years. In the last 10 years that I have been at CAE, I saw CAE grow from 8,000 employee base to now 13,000 – thanks to your ambitions, courage and foresight! Thus, the grand opening of CAE Las Vegas alongside you was particularly a proud moment for me. I hope you know that all of us at the Training Center are grateful for this investment as it has made a huge difference in our lives! Moreover, we are humbled that you continue to choose to train with us again and again. Looking forward to seeing you soon on your next recurrent!

Congratulations from Germany on this milestone, dear Marc Parent. CAE has been shaped by you and led through the most difficult of times. Your continuous leadership and development of our company have made us what we are today: a leader in international flight simulation – and so much more!
Thank you!
Henning Ruth
Marc has a good kind heart, and cares for his community and environment, and of course is quite competitive. I recall cycling with him on the cancer ride from Montreal to Quebec, as well the Dragon Boat races when we beat the 6 time champion Engineering Team. I also recall speaking to him a few times, and one in particular when we were installing one of the very first 3000 series sims in Zhuhai, China. He had known me from previous conversations, and noticed that I was the Site Chief, and asked me if I could put 10-15 minutes of time aside for he to try out his skills at flying this helicopter. I quickly said; Marc you are the CEO, of course we shall put time aside. He insisted that if, he was stopping us from working that he could do without this experience. He realized that our work was important to the success of the project. But, of course, we managed to provide him this experience, and everyone was happy.
Guy Labonte
Dear Marc, Congratulations on reaching the milestone of 20 years with CAE!

It was a pleasure to have you visitjng us in Stolberg, Germany, and organize a tour for you at NATO Airbase Geilenkirchen! When arriving Geilenkirchen Airbase and starting the tour, you truly where interested and well informed about the activities on-Site, showing your respect to the CAE on-Site Teams.

Dear Marc,
my best wishes on completing a remarkable milestone of 20 years of dedicated service with CAE. We have been lucky to serve under your inspirational leadership. I vividly remember visiting us during the inauguration of our CAE New Delhi training centre in Nov 2013 where I was amongst the batch of inaugural team and when asked about what could be improved, I candidly mentioned that we need to have more gender diversity at our centre. This was well noted and, in the years, to come, we have been fortunate enough to drive DEI initiatives in our training centre and at CAE under your able leadership and vision. My fond memories also go back to receiving “Employee of the Year” award in 2017 at CSTPL.
Marc, you have been a supremely humble, genuinely warm and a very affable people leader. My best wishes to you for all your future assignments.
Prateek Pathak

Jane Goodchild
Marc, I met you twice when you visited the Halifax office in Sept 2016 and April 2019. Though our projects aren’t related to Simulators, you expressed an interest in all aspects of them, asked good questions and really engaged with our team members. I appreciate that sort of leadership. Congratulations on twenty years with CAE, and congratulations on whatever comes next post-retirement.
Devin Cameron
Although we’ve only ever had the opportunity to say hello in passing I wanted you to know that I’ve appreciated your leadership these past 20 years. You have a great presence and manner that speaks kindness and respect. We’ve been very lucky to have had you as our CEO; your positive and transparent communications have kept us focused and motivated during the ups and downs of the past 20 years. I hope, in your retirement, you are able to help some non-profits with your leadership; I’m sure it would be appreciated.

You make me proud to come to work each day building new courseware for different aircrafts and do my best. Your leadership and vision are incredibly appreciated. Congratulations and best wishes to a fabulous CEO 🙂 Roger that!
Nadia Rossi
I remember the first time I met you Mark, It was my first NBAA as a sales person for the maintenance training team. I talked with you for quite some time about your aircraft (and the seatbelt airbag system). The next year, as the Americas Sales Leader, we again met at NBAA. This time you asked me how I was doing, and I was able to introduce you to my team which you spend considerable time talking about maintenance training and how we were doing. To this day I remember how much that meant to me and the team, and really showed me how much positive impact a servant leader can make. I wish you well in your next endeavor and thank you for being such a fantastic leader to this organization.

20 years ago I met Marc shortly after he joined CAE. I was part of the organizing committee for the CAE Prestige Club. Marc was extremely interested in the club and it’s meaning to the retired and long term active employees. He gave a very inspiring address to all the attendees. Congratulations on 20 years Marc. You are truly an inspiration. Enjoy your retirement. I know that I am enjoying mine 🙂

Vonique Mason-Edwards
HI Marc, Congratulations on your 20 year anniversary! Although I have met you on numerous occasions, but there’s a specific one that marked me. One evening in 2007 (or 2008), when your office on the 3rd floor was besides our little enclosed group; the ASTARS Strive deployment team. I believe you were closing shop and heading home, the floor was quiet, but you overheard my colleague and I still working in our area, and out of curiosity you asked us what we were up, from above the cubicle walls. Then you came to see our work and saw us trying to fix issues that were uncovered on site. I really appreciate your down-to-earth nature and taking the time to see the troops on the ground, and showing genuine interest in everyone’s contribution! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!
James Tabortowski
Merci Marc d’avoir si bien dirigé notre compagnie durant toutes ces années, et d’en avoir fait un endroit ou il fait bon travailler. Une chose qui m’a toujours impressionné chez vous est la façon dont vous réussissez a montrer l’avenir de la compagnie sous un oeil positif et ce, en toute circonstances, même lorsque nous avons un sérieux vent de face, comme lors de période pandémique. J’ai toujours trouvé les séances d’information que vous avez donné a chaque quart extrêmement motivantes, et je vous remercie d’avoir pris le temps de le faire. Merci encore, et je vous souhaite le meilleur dans vos projets a venir!
Bruno Le Duc
Met Mark in 2011 on13 Feb 2011 when he came to India for inauguration of first CAE flying training institute in India named National Flying Training Institute Gondia along with Minister of Civil Aviation and Our first director Suzzane Roy. A Jolly person and ever approachable. Wish him all the best.
Kulbir Chaudhary
Dear Marc,
Congratulations on your 20 year anniversary ! It took a while to decide what to write because we have so many stories. I decided to share our first flight together in your seaplane. I immeadeatley realized your passion for avaition, as our CAE CEO but also as a pilot. We were both many years younger. After a little over an hour we landed and when it was time for debrief we were in a park on a picnic table at Boisverts et Fils Aviation. We talked about training for over 2 hours, this after our flirst flight. We continued from floats to Jets and your ATP, in record time as we were both working at CAE, we would meet up after our work to then train in class and fly in late hours of the evenings and our journey is now history. Fast forward about 15 years you are celebrating 20 years with CAE where we have now trained together in CAE’s network of Flight Training Centers, CAE MTL, DFW, LAS VEGAS, BURGESS HILL. No matter where we went your employees are always your priority and in the end we would end up studying for the next training event into late evenings, to perform our best in the simulator. It was hard to find a picture but I had to choose one that shows you training in your simulator.
Domenic Di Iorio
Cher Marc,
Félicitations pour 20 ans! Tu es un modèle inspirant pour moi. La contribution que tu as apporté à CAE est énorme.

Merci beaucoup et bon succès!

I remember shaking your hand in the atrium in the Dallas training center shortly after I joined the CAE team. My Bombardier coworkers and I had just been acquired by CAE. Since that time, I’ve been impressed by your vision, leadership, and especially your heart.
Enjoy many happy, healthy years of retirement. I wish you and your loved ones special times to make wonderful memories.

Dear Marc, Happy 20th CAE birthday!
We have always felt that you had Southern Europe, and Madrid in particular, in your thoughts when you talk about commitment to CAE and customer service. We can never be grateful enough that we were your first trip to a TC abroad after the pandemic, which we celebrated with our famous paella.
Thank you again and we wish you all the Very Best in your new chapters in life!

Cher Marc,
félicitations pour 20 années d’impact à CAE!! Nous en avons vécu des moments qui comptent au cours de nos presque 12 années de collaboration, entre les CEO sessions, les entrevues médias, les campagnes Centraide et autres, l’évolution de notre culture et de nos valeurs, les tournages, les événements, les journées de la famille, les ouvertures de centres, les vols!
Tu peux être fier de ton impact et d’être à la tête d’une si belle entreprise qui fait une vraie différence pour la sécurité mondiale. Je t’en souhaiterais bien 20 autres mais je sais que tu auras bientôt d’autres projets tout aussi passionnants! Un plaisir de t’accompagner dans cette aventure – encore toutes mes chaleureuses félicitations pour ce jalon incroyable!

Cher Marc,
Quel parcours incroyable – 20 ans de d’impact, à CAE et dans toute l’industrie! Ta vision et ta passion ont marqué non seulement l’entreprise, mais de nombreux employés, et au cours de ces années, CAE est devenue une organisation qui continue d’innover et d’inspirer à l’échelle mondiale. De quoi être fier! I’ve had the privilege of learning and growing for almost 10 years at CAE. From repositioning CAE as a manufacturing company to a worldwide training organization, expanding into new markets with flight ops, rebranding and making our brand shine around the world, to working alongside you and your teams for media, tradeshows, internal events, etc. … as well as sharing your passion for flying with our employees! I am grateful for all these meaningful moments (that matter!) and opportunities, shaped by the incredible culture fostered here. As you prepare for your next chapter, I want to thank you for the legacy you’re leaving behind. Wishing you all the best for what’s to come. Cette prochaine aventure sera, sans aucun doute, aussi remarquable que ton parcours ici. À bientôt,
Aline Massouh

Dear Marc,
Congratulation on achieving 20 years at CAE and steering CAE to such success as well as demonstrating such passion for aviation, CAE and its employees. I recall one time when you came to meet with Skymark Airlines during a sales campaign to convince them to come to CAE rather than the competition. The convincing points you made to them to come with CAE where instrumental in winning this sale. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I have no doubt you will contribute further to fostering success and growth in the aviation world.
Thank you
John Kamper
Congratulations, Marc, on your remarkable journey and outstanding leadership with CAE. On a personal level, after all my years moving around in our network, you always remembered where I was and what I was doing and provided your support. Through your leadership, I learned resilience and the importance of facing each problem heads on. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Thank you for all the positive impact you made on each of us

Dear Marc,
you have been and continue to be a stalwart leader whom I truly admire and respect. Your energy and passion for CAE inspires me every day. I think you see not only the whole of CAE, but also, and especially, its component parts, right down to the many individuals whose careers you’ve touched over the years. Congratulations on reaching this significant milestone (I’m 3 years behind you) and for leading our company to such heights!
Warmest wishes for a lifetime of continued success and happiness,
Richard Shiarella
Congratulations on your 20 year anniversary Marc! I remember when you first joined CAE, quickly taking on higher leadership roles before taking over as CEO. You have led CAE’s growth, our strategy from product to service to operational support provider and the continued development of our amazing company culture. All of these items, along with the many others, have contributed to my own career growth within CAE. Thank you for your time leading CAE and the confidence you have shown in me for the leadership roles taken on over my own career. I wish you the best as you transition into life after CAE.
David Bancroft
