Bombardier started with a snowmobile. Today, it builds the world’s fastest business jet.
In this episode, Ève Laurier, VP of Communications & Marketing at Bombardier, joins Fred Moore to unpack the company’s transformation into a focused, pure-play business aviation brand—and the work required to reshape how it’s understood.
Eve shares what it takes to rebrand an institution that an entire country feels emotionally attached to—from months of stakeholder listening before briefing a single agency, to presenting the new identity to the founding family. She challenges common perceptions of business aviation, explains why “esteemed brand” sits more comfortably than “luxury,” and reflects on the moment a client takes delivery of an $85 million aircraft on the factory floor.
This is a conversation about engineering culture, brand transformation, and what it means to carry a national legacy forward.
