Christian Yaccarini

President and CEO

The brainchild of the Angus revitalization project, Christian turned the SDA into a leading force in urban revitalization. He is highly vested in the project and his greatest desire is to bring life and zeal back to East Montreal - a long-forgotten sector of the city. With his oratory skills and leadership, he manages numerous front-line projects and brings organizations and institutions on board to invest and work together. The SDA’s accomplishments (at the Technopôle Angus, on Saint-Laurent Blvd., etc.) are guided by this mission, commitment and willingness to take risks. In 2012, he was awarded the Green CEO award, along with the “Medal of the National Assembly”.
