Boralex has appointed Robin Deveaux as executive vice president and general manager for North America, succeeding Hugues Girardin, who will retire at the end of 2025.
The company said Girardin will remain in post as transition advisor to support a smooth handover.
Deveaux, who has more than two decades of experience in renewables and professional services, joined Boralex in finance roles before being promoted to senior vice president for finance and asset management in North America.
“I am honoured by the trust placed in me, and I approach this new challenge with a great deal of humility,” said Deveaux.
“Together, we will continue to drive our mission forward – with ambition, discipline, and a strong commitment to collaboration, proximity with the community, and excellence in project execution.”
Boralex credited Deveaux’s leadership, strategic thinking and project delivery as instrumental to his promotion as the company prepares to announce its 2030 strategy.
Girardin departs after a 34-year career, during which he helped expand the firm’s asset base and strengthen its community partnerships.
“It has been a great source of pride to support Boralex’s growth… I’m pleased to pass the baton to Robin, whose leadership and vision are closely aligned with the Company’s ambitions,” he said.
President and CEO Patrick Decostre added: “I want to sincerely thank Hugues for his unwavering dedication and outstanding contributions… Robin’s passion for our mission, combined with his expertise, will be tremendous assets for Boralex’s future.”
