Profile

Sanaa Benzakour, co-owner of PMML, stands out as an exceptional businesswoman and an undeniable leader in the commercial real estate sector in Quebec. She has been a driving force behind PMML's rapid growth, where she not only built a versatile and high-performing administrative team but also played a strategic role in transforming the company into a market leader. Her visionary approach has implemented systems and structures that support rapid expansion while maintaining operational excellence.

In collaboration with Patrice Ménard, Sanaa shares an ambitious vision for PMML's future: to create a growth platform where equity and talent development are at the core of their strategy. Together, they work to recruit the best players in the industry, attracting leaders and brilliant minds to propel PMML to new heights. Their goal is clear: to strengthen PMML's presence in expanding markets, not only in Quebec but also nationally and internationally. They aim to build an ecosystem where every team member can grow alongside the company while creating shared value that transcends the traditional boundaries of real estate.

As the president of CrewM in 2024, Sanaa also embodies a vision of inclusion and diversity, ensuring that PMML not only dominates the market but also redefines it. Her role on the boards of CORPIQ and Levic reflects her commitment to shaping a future where innovation, equity, and performance are intrinsically linked. Together with Patrice, Sanaa is determined to build a sustainable empire, where top talent finds fertile ground to thrive, and where PMML continues to compete with industry giants while transforming the commercial real estate landscape in a sustainable way.
