Samuel Chenard is the CEO and co-founder of Palisade, a DMARC automation platform built for managed service providers. Together with co-founder and CTO Ian Bussieres, he started Palisade to take the manual work out of email authentication — getting client domains to DMARC enforcement without breaking the mail that matters.
Sam works with MSPs every day on SPF, DKIM, DMARC and deliverability problems, and he writes Palisade's learning library: more than 400 practical guides covering email authentication, bounce and rejection troubleshooting, and defending businesses against phishing and spoofing.
He is a repeat founder based in Montreal, Canada, and an active member of the Quebec startup community.
