In launching Imagine, we wish to distinguish our program offers from our competitors and position ourselves as a leader in food and facility services in support of our partners. As a public figure embodying Imagine by Sodexo’s vision and raising awareness of its message, the Brand Ambassador will play an essential role in sharing Imagines’ good nutritional practices. 

ABOUT LAURENT DUVERNAY-TARDIF Duvernay-Tardif received the 2020 Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada’s Athlete of the Year, Sports Illustrated’s 2020 Sportsperson of the Year award and the 2021 ESPY Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award. He has also been Quebec’s spokesperson for Hooked on School Days since 2019. A native of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, he grew up in the Montreal area. When asked to choose between football and medicine, he refused to compromise and pursued both of his dreams. In 2018, he graduated from McGill University with a doctorate in medicine while also playing professional football for the New York Jets. As he tells young people he meets during the many talks he gives at schools: “It’s all about balance – don’t give up on your passions!"
