Gerry Lalonde, President for Inner Circle of Kingston/Bay of Quinte, has had a distinguished career that spans over 30 years of international work and which has taken him and his family as far afield as Auckland New Zealand and London England.

He has held several senior roles including CFO for a Fortune 500 multinational, CEO for human resources software company and COO for a NASDAQ listed technology company. He is also an accomplished entrepreneur and business owner.

Gerry’s diverse career enabled him to gain direct functional experience in sales, operations, finance, marketing, product development, human resources, management consulting and business ownership.

“Having been a CEO and business owner myself, I could immediately see the value that Inner Circle brings to the table. CEO's, Presidents, and owners of small and mid-size companies often don't have a formalized board of directors to act as advisors to their business. At Inner Circle we help them bridge that gap.”

Gerry has a B.Adm. from the University of Ottawa and he is also a Certified General Accountant.
