Assek Announces the Appointment of Charles‑François Richard as CEO

A new milestone in the company’s evolution and water risk management.

Assek announced today that Charles‑François Richard will assume the role of CEO, marking a new milestone in the company’s evolution.

This transition follows a period where Guillaume Blais served as CEO, helping structure the organization and support its growth through numerous major projects. Guillaume will continue to play an active role in Assek’s operations.

Continuity in Water Mitigation and Risk Management

This change aligns with the continuity of Assek’s development. Since its founding, Assek has built practical solutions to better manage water mitigation and water-related risks in buildings, maintaining a constant focus on execution, reliability, and real-world impact in the field.

With the appointment of Charles‑François Richard as CEO, the company intends to accelerate this momentum and strengthen its positioning with partners, insurers, and property managers.

« We operate in a market with high expectations. Clients want reliable, deployable solutions that deliver results. That is exactly what Assek will continue to focus on. »
— Charles-François Richard, CEO of Assek Technologies

What are Assek’s priorities for the coming months?

Over the coming months, Assek will pursue its efforts around three clear strategic priorities:

  • Larger-scale deployment:
    Expanding the adoption of its technological solutions across buildings.
  • Field experience:
    Optimizing key processes including installation, technical support, and maintenance.
  • Web platform evolution:
    Maximizing the concrete value delivered to managers and partners.

This leadership transition aims to support Assek’s next phase of growth, drawing on an expanding team, a solid partner network, and the increasing adoption of its solutions.
