Gilles specializes in mechanical and material failure analysis, starting his forensic career in 2004 with SAMAC Engineering. Over the years, he has been involved in a variety of complex losses, often involving multiple experts with specific areas of expertise. As Director of the Property group for SAMAC and then the Assistant VP for Western Canada with Envista Forensics, Gilles was involved in either leading, or offering guidance, for many of the larger multidisciplinary losses being handled by the firm in Western Canada, particularly those with a mechanical or material component. At Oak, Gilles applies the same methodologies he’s learned and used in the past to analyze the complex in an effort to simplify for the client.
