François Chapados appointed to BBA Executive Committee

BBA is proud to announce that François Chapados has joined its Executive Committee to take over the Business Development and Marketing group. This group was previously led by Jérôme Pelletier, who was appointed President and CEO last September.

With over 20 years of experience in consulting engineering, François Chapados understands our markets and the needs of industrial clients perfectly. He has been involved in many strategic and operational management mandates as technical project manager, office director and a member of the firm’s Board of Directors.

François Chapados has been based in Vancouver for the last five years and, in recent years, has actively contributed to the firm’s rapid growth in Western Canada. BBA now has seven offices in Alberta and British Columbia, located in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, and in Vancouver, Terrace, Fort St. John, Kamloops and, soon, Trail, British Columbia.

“BBA is in a better position than ever to offer leading-edge solutions to clients in the Mining and Metals, Energy, and Biofuels, Oil and Gas markets. And with François’ understanding of our clients’ realities at the regional, national and international levels, we’re pleased to be able to count on him to continue the firm’s growth with boldness and drive,” states Jérôme Pelletier, BBA’s new President and CEO.

“François is known for his inclusive leadership and strong ability to combine his technical skills with his strategic business vision,” continues Jérôme Pelletier. “So, I’m very excited to be able to rely on his support to continue this growth while respecting our business model, which is focused on practice, expertise and our people.”

This change was effective November 22.
