Our Story
Our founder Cynthia Iorio is a certified Project and Program Management Professional and care consultant based in Montreal, QC with over 20 years experience. She's managed programs for financial institutions, healthcare facilities and utilities companies among others.
​
Her life has been shaped by what she calls the privilege of caring for both of her late parents through their unexpected illnesses which has given her a deep understanding of the sacrifices and triumphs of taking on an informal caregiving role.
​​
Monarque Solutions is built on the pillars of Education, Mentorship and Storytelling and is dedicated to helping organizations retain their top talent by addressing responsibilities outside of the workplace, and empowering professionals to embrace unplanned care responsibilities.

"Investing in working caregivers is not just socially responsible, it's profitable."
Mission
Monarque's mission is simple:
Protect the carers.
​Resilience, strategic thinking and communication are some characteristics of top leaders in organizations, and are also skills required in care. Working caregivers are tomorrow's leaders, and supporting them, is an investment in the bottom line.
​​
By taking a strengths-based approach to frame and discuss caregiving, the focus shifts from how the challenges faced are insurmountable, to how they have the ability to transform and inspire innovation.
​​
Like it or not, we are on the cusp of an economic crisis caused by a healthcare system propped up by informal caregivers. It's time for organizations to partner with their workforce that cares, in order to prepare for a tsunami that can wreak havoc on business and people as a whole.
