Lyubomir Lyubenov’s journey began in Bulgaria, where he experienced a unique blend of city life and summers on his grandparents' farm. These formative years instilled in him the values of hard work and perseverance—qualities that continue to shape his career in the pharmaceutical industry.

At a young age, Lyubomir’s family made the life-changing decision to move to Montreal, Canada, in pursuit of better opportunities. Reflecting on this transition, he expresses deep gratitude: "I’m thankful that my parents made the choice to come to Canada, offering me the chance for a better future." This pivotal move set the stage for his professional success in regulatory affairs within the pharmaceutical sector.

During the hiring process, Brunel’s dedication to candidate success stood out.
