Rodeo FX Appoints Émilie Dussault as Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs

Rodeo FX has appointed Émilie Dussault as senior vice president, corporate affairs. The appointment comes as Rodeo FX approaches its 20th anniversary, two decades in which it has grown from a Montreal start up into an award-winning studio with a global footprint spanning six international offices. A newly created executive role, the position reflects the company’s commitment to building and protecting its corporate platform as well as strengthening its public presence as a global leader in creative technology.

Émilie’s mandate spans two interconnected areas: government relations, public affairs and industry relations with brand, marketing and communications. Together, these responsibilities ensure Rodeo FX’s reputation, institutional influence, and global visibility remain tightly aligned with its strategic direction.

“We are building a company that can compete and win on the global stage,  not just creatively, but commercially and institutionally,” said Sébastien Moreau, CEO of Rodeo FX. “Émilie brings exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary leadership this role demands to reflect the full ambition of what Rodeo FX is becoming. Her appointment is a defining step in how we grow.”

Over the course of two decades, Émilie Dussault has left an indelible mark on the global visual effects and animation industry, operating at the intersection of executive leadership, business development, and industry governance. She brings a rare combination of deal-making expertise, institutional credibility, and deep understanding of the creative industries, both as an operator and as a voice in the policy and regulatory environments that shape them. She has served as President of both the Conseil du patronat du Québec (CPQ) and the Bureau du cinéma et de la télévision du Québec (BCTQ). 

"It's with great pride that I'm joining Rodeo FX for the next phase of its continued evolution and growth," said Émilie Dussault. "The company already has the creative reputation, the global footprint, and the ambition to play at the highest level,  and I believe even more potential lies ahead. I'm here to help unlock that."

Émilie holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production from Concordia University and a Master’s in Management from HEC Montréal. She’s notably known for building MPC Film's Montreal studio from the ground up in 2013 into a powerhouse of more than 1,250 artists and technicians in just five years. 

Founded in 2006, Rodeo FX has grown into one of the world's most respected creative studios, even expanding its wide array of services with the acquisition of Mikros Animation last year, and with a body of work that includes visual effects for Masters of the Universe and the upcoming new season of HBO's House of the Dragon. Her appointment is a testimony to the ambition of the creative company.
