VALCOURT — BRP Inc. announces some changes to its Powersports and Marine organizational structures aiming at maximizing efficiencies and operational excellence, while leveraging its leaders’ experience to better position the Company for long-term growth.

The Powersports and Marine Groups are combined under one leadership to ensure stronger alignment and focus, create synergies and enable the teams to leverage functional expertise stemming from both commercial businesses. This change further solidifies BRP’s dedication to driving sustained profitable growth while delivering a compelling value proposition to its network of dealers and distributors. Sandy Scullion, currently President, Powersports Group, is appointed to the position of President, Powersports and Marine. In this position, Mr. Scullion will assume P&L responsibility for both businesses with direct oversight on Global Retail and Services.

BRP is also combining the Manufacturing Operations for the Powersports and Marine Groups under the leadership of Patrick Dussault. Mr Dussault, who was already leading the manufacturing operations for Powersports, is therefore appointed to the position of Executive Vice-President, Global Manufacturing Operations, Powersports and Marine. As a result, Mr. Dussault becomes a member of the Executive Leadership Team of BRP. Mr. Dussault has played roles in manufacturing operations and procurement. He has namely instigated and implemented the innovative and agile manufacturing strategy of BRP, and successfully led the establishment of new manufacturing sites.

Since taking over the leadership of the Marine Group back in 2023, Bernard Guy made strides in positioning the business for success, namely by raising the bar to ensure the production facilities are ready to manufacture boats and pontoons. Mr. Guy is now refocusing on his primary role as Executive Vice-President, Global Product Strategy, Powersports and Marine.

I’m also pleased to welcome Patrick to our Executive Management Team, and I have every confidence that he will be able to continue driving operational excellence in our facilities. Finally, I am very grateful to Bernard for the instrumental role he has played to position our Marine Group for success. More importantly, Bernard will now be 100% focused on bringing cutting-edge innovations to our lineups to fuel our competitive edge.”
