Caisse Presidents

High-Calibre Directors

Since the Caisse was created, six highly-experienced directors have been in charge of its management. They have maintained a long-term vision that has made the Caisse an internationally-renowned institution.

For many years, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer were held by the same individual. Since 2005, under new corporate governance rules, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are now separate. The six heads of the Caisse along with the years in which they were appointed are shown below:

1966  
Mr. Claude Prieur becomes the first Chairman and General Manager of the Caisse.

1973 
Mr. Marcel Cazavan takes over as Chairman and General Manager.

1980  
Mr. Jean Campeau begins a 10-year mandate with the same responsibilities.

1990 
As a result of an amendment to the Act that splits the position of Chairman and General Manager, Mr. Jean-Claude Delorme becomes Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Guy Savard becomes President and Chief of Operations.

1995 
These two positions are once again united and Mr. Jean-Claude Scraire is appointed Chairman of the Board and General Manager.

Mr. Henri-Paul Rousseau joins the Caisse as Chairman of the Board and General Manager.
