Max St-Jacques

Max is a technically grounded engineer who thinks like a policy strategist and operates like a product manager inside government. He helps decision-makers avoid high-cost electrification and grid integration missteps by translating complex building, grid, and operational emissions dynamics into clear, strategy-ready guidance. He holds a PhD and P.Eng. He has led cross-disciplinary analyses and tooling for high-performance multi-unit residential buildings, electrification pathways, and emissions strategy. He specializes in bridging technical nuance with governance and investment decision frameworks that matter to boards, utilities, and capital partners. He develops risk-oriented tools and methodologies, leads multi-stakeholder engagements, and produces decision-ready insights that support scalable outcomes in housing, infrastructure, and electrification transitions. His focus is on solutions that balance operational performance, market viability, and grid impact. The MLI Select program
