The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that José Boisjoli has long bucked the trend that shows chief executive officer are lasting less and less time in the top job. The Globe's Nicolas Van Praet writes that later this week, the chairman and CEO of BRP will retire after 22 years at the wheel of the Ski-Doo and Sea-Doo maker, making way for former Renault Group executive Denis Le Vot. The Quebec-born Mr. Boisjoli has led the Valcourt, Que., company since its split from Bombardier in 2003. The average outgoing tenure for a CEO leading an S&P/TSX Composite Index-listed company is 6.6 years. Mr. Boisjoli, 68, led BRP for more than three times longer -- a fact perhaps linked in part to the company's history as a family enterprise, said Alaric Bourgoin, a specialist in CEO dynamics at Montreal's HEC business school. The Bombardier-Beaudoin family founded the company and control it through multiple-voting shares, together with Bain Capital and Quebec's La Caisse pension fund. "Family businesses tend to manage for the long term," Mr. Bourgoin said. Under his watch, BRP has diversified its product lineup, added thousands of workers and quadrupled its stock price while taking market share from rivals.
