Passing of Christophe Desage

“A pillar of BBA culture has sadly left us,” says Jérôme Pelletier, President of BBA. “Christophe was driven by a keen entrepreneurial spirit steeped in human values. He will be deeply missed, but his invaluable contribution to our firm’s evolution over more than 26 years will assuredly continue to inspire and guide us.”

Christophe was with BBA since 1997 and was a visionary leader and a mentor to many of our team members. Among his greatest achievements, he was the principal architect of BBA's presence in Western Canada and guided our firm’s growth as a member of BBA's Board of Directors for more than nine years, including five as Chair.

“His colleagues and friends in the industry will remember him as a brilliant man with sharp business acumen, whose flair and candour were always appreciated,” adds Martin Milot, BBA's Chief Operating Officer. “Over and above his professional achievements, he leaves behind a legacy of generosity, integrity and boldness that will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him.”

At this difficult time, our hearts and thoughts are entirely dedicated to his family, friends and all those who had the privilege of knowing this great man, sharing precious moments and working closely with him.
