Saint-Gobain recently announced the appointment of Jean-Claude Lasserre as chief executive officer of Saint-Gobain Canada, effective on April 1, 2025. Currently the global CEO of Saint-Gobain Surface Solutions, Lasserre brings to Canada over 30 years of experience within the Saint-Gobain Group in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

“I am honored to lead Saint-Gobain’s operations in Canada aiming to accelerate our development to better serve our customers and partners,“ said Lasserre. “My primary focus will be to connect with our customers and support our teams as we continue our work to offer a complete portfolio of building products with our recent acquisitions, while reinforcing our commitment to sustainable construction. We are eagerly anticipating the completion of North America's first zero-carbon wallboard plant in Sainte-Catherine, Quebec (scope 1 and 2), and the imminent launch of CarbonLow drywall.”

Lasserre’s appointment follows the leadership of former Saint-Gobain Canada CEO, Julie Bonamy, who in her tenure managed nearly $4B in strategic acquisitions of Kaycan, Building Products of Canada and Bailey Group of Companies to complement the existing CertainTeed product portfolio. With a comprehensive range of interior and exterior building solutions, the company is well positioned for accelerated growth in the Canadian market.

“I would like to warmly welcome Jean-Claude Lasserre to Saint-Gobain North America. His depth of experience and strategic vision is exactly what our customers need to meet the markets demand for growth in residential and commercial construction,” added Mark Rayfield, president and CEO, Saint-Gobain North America. “I thank Julie Bonamy for her steadfast leadership of our growing operations over the last two years. It is an exciting time for Saint-Gobain in Canada, and we are laser focused on delivering exceptional service and support for our customers with a full portfolio of high-quality solutions.”
