Innovation in people generates innovation in the organizations. In this talk, ANDRÉ shares his ideas on recruiting talents and how they transform athletes to become artists at Cirque du Soleil. He believes humans are sources of innovation. Originally from Brazil, André has played and recorded with various Quebec and Brazilian artists. He eventually co-founded the group Gaia, with whom he recorded three albums and was nominated for a Juno. 

André toured with Cirque du Soleil’s Delirium in 2006, after which he produced and directed various music albums, in addition to composing for documentaries and web series. He became an Artistic Scout for Cirque du Soleil Casting in 2008, and since 2011 has assumed the role of Head Talent Scout, allowing him to gain more experience in management, accounting and business strategies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
