While welcoming Le Vot, the Board of Directors also took a moment to acknowledge José Boisjoli's significant contributions. Samardzich extended a heartfelt thank you on behalf of the board, recognizing his achievements in globally positioning BRP within the OEM sports market.

Jose Boisjoli commented on his departure, stating, “I am proud of what we have accomplished during my time at BRP. I am confident about the company’s future and believe that Denis is the right person to lead it as the most strategically positioned OEM in the industry.”

On February 1, 2026, BRP will also see Pierre Beaudoin taking over as Chairman of the Board, emphasizing the company’s commitment to strong leadership. With these appointments, BRP is set to propel the company's strategic plan, M28, and ensure sustained growth to maintain its status as a world-leading OEM in the motorsport equipment industry.
