Guest speaker
Pierre Pomerleau is a leading figure in Canada’s construction industry. He joined Pomerleau in 1989 and succeeded his father, Hervé Pomerleau, as President in 1997. For more than 25 years, he successfully led the family business, transforming it from a regional firm into a national powerhouse recognized for its boldness, innovation and sustainable vision.
Under his leadership, annual revenues grew from $100 million to more than $5 billion by 2023. He turned Pomerleau into one of the largest construction companies in the country, managing over 200 projects annually across Canada, from commercial, residential and industrial buildings to major infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
In August 2023, Pierre stepped down as CEO and now serves as Executive Chairman of the Board. He holds a degree in Civil Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal (Poly ’87) and an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business (UWO, 1989).
