36 year-old Haitian-Canadian Welby Altidor never bragged about his achievement, but he is one of the main forces behind the success of Cirque du Soleil as Director of Planning, Arts, and Casting. Altidor joined the company in the 1990’s as an artist recruiter and has made his way up the corporate ladder. Welby thinks that coming from a Haitian family has definitely helped him along the way in keeping his priorities straight, and has taught him the true meaning of discipline and will always be grateful to his Haitian backgrounds. Showbiz has learned that he could soon become the new “big boss” of the company.
