Marie-Ève ​​​​Royer was named president of Bimbo Canada, the oldest and largest Canadian company producing baked goods and snacks, last February. The company owns several flagships in Quebec, including Boulangerie Vachon in Sainte-Marie.

The leader is anything but a stranger to Beauce, as her father comes from Sainte-Hénédine and her mother from Sainte-Marie, she reveals in a video interview EnBeauce.com.

The lady began her career at Maple Leaf Foods more than 20 years ago as part of the leadership intern program (Maple Leaf Foods sold Canada Bread to Grupo Bimbo in 2014). Since then, she has held leadership positions in business strategy, supply chain, marketing, sales and hospitality in Canada and the United Kingdom.

She has over 20 years of experience at Bimbo Canada in business strategy and building high-performing teams.

“ I am honored to lead the talented team at Bimbo Canada, with whom I have had the pleasure of working for many years. says Madame Royer happily. We have been at the Canadian table for over 100 years. Our products, marketed under popular brands such as Dempster’s, Villaggio, Vachon and Takis, are popular across the country. I’m very proud of that. As President, I am excited to lead our great organization into the next chapter of its history, accelerating our transformation and fostering a culture of collaboration to achieve our mission: creating a better world. »

In an interview, she explains why her company kept the Vachon factory at the same location after the catastrophic flood of 2019.

In addition, this year the President was deeply involved in various activities to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of Boulangerie Vachon.
