Jacques DeLarochelliere, P. Eng.
CEO, Chairman, Cofounder, ISAAC Instruments
Jacques DeLarochelliere, P. Eng.
When he got back on the track, Jacques made the best time. Proud of his performance, he was sure the adjustments he had asked for had done the trick. He was then told nothing had changed. This lesson in humility helped Jacques realize that people couldn’t feel, record and explain actions and reactions as well as technology. This triggered his need to develop a tool to quantify the behavior of race car drivers and their vehicles.
The family home’s garden shed then became ISAAC’s first laboratory. With his childhood friend David Brillon, he spent his free time working on his telemetry system. At the time, the Internet, GPS, cellular communication and accelerometers were brand new tech!
In the early 2000s, his telemetry system piqued the interest of leading automakers, like Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota. His entrepreneurial vision enabled him to build a successful business, which today brings its unique expertise to the transportation industry.
Jacques’s entrepreneurial leadership led to his nomination as a finalist in the Ernst & Young and Desjardins entrepreneurship awards. Jacques holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, a flight theory and practice certification from the Kansas University School of Engineering, and specialized training in aircraft certification from Transport Canada.
Jacques is a sportsman at heart. He particularly enjoys speed and extreme sports. If he so enjoys riding his longboard to the office, it’s because the slopes along the way help get him there really fast!
Jean-Sébastien Bouchard, P. Eng.
Executive Vice President of Sales, Cofounder, ISAAC Instruments
Jean-Sébastien Bouchard, P. Eng.
From a young age, Jean-Sébastien has always been the one who liked to uncover problems and solve them. He was the expert at changing the time on the VCR without instructions! Today, this curiosity is put to good use helping trucking fleets meet their greatest challenges. Thanks to his analytical skills and problem-solving abilities, he contributes to the evolution of ISAAC’s solutions.
Jean-Sebastien holds a bachelor’s degree from McGill University in computer engineering with a specialization in technological entrepreneurship.
Passionate about many sports, such as hockey, skiing, mountain biking and running, he especially wants to pass on this passion to his two daughters.
