Paula Ceballos

Client Engagement Director at CGI Montréal

Paula Ceballos brings more than 15 years of experience in business development and consulting, including the last three years in the transportation sector at CGI Montréal. As Client Engagement Director, she governs major outsourcing mandates : application services, infrastructure, advisory and project delivery.

What fuels her most : the potential of global technology alliances (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Databricks, among others) to create concrete value for clients and sales teams. It is a passion she nurtures actively in her professional life, convinced that these strategic partnerships represent the future of how value is delivered to clients.

Before CGI, Paula led digital transformation and revenue optimization mandates at Radio-Canada/CBC, KO Média and Quebecor, where she drove content and digital monetization strategies for large-scale brands. She holds a bachelor's degree in social science from Concordia University and pursues continuing education in generative AI and AI ethics.

Committed to the advancement of women in technology, Paula takes an active part in Les EssenTIelles, a group dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that supports the professional growth of women at CGI Montréal.

In her words

It takes women who dare to take their place at the table and assert their leadership, loud and clear. AI is moving so fast that if we wait until we are 100 % ready before we speak, we have already missed the boat… and what better way than to network with other women leaders, to push ourselves to have a voice in the conversation about AI. Because we often forget to tell it to ourselves. It is time we stopped being discreet about it. Catalyse Collective is exactly that for me : to stop being the silent hard worker in the corner and start the activation.
