Originally from Rosemere and now living in Terrebonne, Vanessa studied Business Management at Dawson College before leaving it all behind to dedicate herself fully to her company. As the founder, she’s involved in everything: management, marketing, and design.
A big fan of travelling and a little something sweet, she’s behind the brand’s social media posts and ensures that every swimsuit design and style perfectly reflects her vision.
Mom to a little one, Vanessa has mastered the art of juggling a thousand and one things… except maybe doing two things at once. If she nods while looking at you, there’s a 50% chance she’s pretending to listen (but always with love).
She’s the businesswoman who always has a thousand ideas in mind, despite having “the smallest memory in the world.” And yet, she succeeds at everything. Even with the biggest lunch box, there isn’t a single day when Van doesn’t have a craving.
How can you recognize Vanessa at the office? She’s the one dressed in neutral colours, walking around with a huge 5-liter water jug.

Originally from Blainville, Claudia has held a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (Entrepreneurship profile) from UQO since 2018. Vanessa’s right-hand woman and close friend she has been serving as Director of Operations since 2020.
Claudia ensures the company runs smoothly on a daily basis: optimizing systems, overseeing logistics, managing accounting and finances… and occasionally correcting our small (and big) mistakes. Structured and detail-oriented, she is the organizational pillar of the team.
Affectionately nicknamed Claucli, she’s also our best audience member: she laughs out loud, even at the most questionable jokes. Always on the move, her phone never stops ringing and her to-do list seems endless proof of her unwavering dedication.
A big fan of black coffee (which she reheats multiple times thanks to her trusty mug warmer), she swears by her simple and efficient TikTok-inspired lunch: sausage, cottage cheese, and mustard.

Jessie lives in Saint-Colomban and is our Marketing Manager at Mennillo. A graduate in Fashion Marketing from Collège Marie-Victorin, she brings her creativity and vision to the brand every single day.
Mom to an adorable little Noah and married since 2023 to the love of her life, Jessie balances family life and marketing with passion. At the office, she’s known for her ambitious ideas and her constant drive to help Mennillo grow.
Always the first to arrive in the morning, she spends her days singing, saying how much she misses her son, and trying to steal Catherine’s title of funniest team member. A big fan of Google Meet and Google Calendar, she sends us (at least!) fifteen notifications a day to schedule meetings. Organization is truly her superpower, and thanks to her, we all stay aligned and on track.
Honestly, we’re lucky to have her on our team. And of course, she’s always looking forward to her little glass of wine on Friday night.

Favorite swimsuit: April top and Rae bottom in Polka dot red
Originally from Blainville, Catherine is currently completing a vocational diploma (DEP) in aesthetics. Her passion for wellness and her attention to detail shine through in her customer service role as well. She’s the one handling returns and exchanges, answering questions with efficiency and kindness, and always ready to find a solution for you (even when she has 1,001 unread emails).
Behind her professionalism hides the group’s biggest comedian. Catherine loves hiding to jump out and scare the team when we arrive at the office. She even organizes votes to be crowned “funniest team member”… and she takes it very seriously.
Her official nickname? Cathou Panic. Because even when the office feels like chaos, she manages to handle everything sometimes while running around and with a touch of exaggeration, but always with a smile.

She turns all of Vanessa’s ideas into reality and brings each project to life, one detail at a time.
Even though she only works two days a week, her to-do list is HUGE. Essential to the creation of Mennillo swimsuits, she plays a key role in every collection.
We always look forward to her arrival at the office on Fridays to hear her thousand and one stories about university life. Outside of work, she practices competitive cheerleading a schedule as impressive as her energy. Let’s just say that if you want to see her, you need to book her three months in advance!!
Honestly, we couldn’t imagine the team without her.

Lili-Rose is one of the people who keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. Between the warehouse and the boutique, she makes sure every order is carefully prepared and that every in-store customer receives attentive service. If everything is well organized and in its proper place, there’s a good chance she had something to do with it.
She lives in Boisbriand and is currently finishing her CEGEP studies online, juggling work and school like a pro. Naturally quiet, she’s not always the first to speak… but when she does, it’s often to deliver a perfectly timed joke that catches everyone off guard.
A big fan of Damso, she always has the right songs to soundtrack her day.
How to recognize Lili-Rose at work: focused in the warehouse, gentle and welcoming in the boutique and probably smiling after slipping in a well-placed little joke.

In Loving Memory of Nala
Nala was the employee with the fewest tasks at the office… but certainly the one who took up the most space in our hearts. Her daily work routine: eat, go outside for bathroom breaks, sleep on the couch, and run around everywhere. She was the goldendoodle with the dream job.
Our number one little troublemaker and loyal office guardian, she had been Claudia’s baby since October 2022. Always right behind Catherine in the race for the mail carrier’s favorite, she mastered the art of getting attention. Curious, she would come up to you in the boutique… only to run away the second you tried to pet her.
Gone far too soon, at just two and a half years old, Nala left a huge mark on our team. Her energy, her presence, and her little bursts of silliness will forever be part of our story.
How to recognize Nala at the office: the furriest member of the team now our little guardian from above.
