It seems that 2025 is the year of CEO leaving their jobs, as numerous head honchos have left their posts in the last 12 months. KTM, Harley-Davidson, Zero, and Damon have all lost their CEOs under varying circumstances. Some good, some not. One CEO, however, is leaving just because it was time, and that's BRP's José Boisjoli.
The longtime CEO announced his departure earlier this year after leading the company for over two decades, during which he expanded the group's lineup and brought its full might to bear on the powersports industry with Can-Am, Ski-Doo, and Sea-Doo. It led to record business and a large expansion of the group's lineups. But all things have an ending, and the CEO's replacement has just been announced in the form of Denis Le Vot.
Interestingly, Le Vot doesn't come from the powersports world, as one might expect. Rather, he's coming in from the automotive industry, with his previous post running everyone's favorite "Great news!" car brand, Dacia. Yes, I'm still quoting OG Top Gear, and I will do so until I die.
