ABOUT BEN

Ben Champoux is a strategic planning consultant who helps businesses, governments, and non-profit organizations chart their path to sustainable growth and meaningful impact.

Originally from Quebec's Eastern Townships, Ben has spent over 25 years transforming communities and organizations. With a background in economics (l'Université de Sherbrooke, Eastern Connecticut State University) and a master's degree in health administration from l'Université de Montréal, he brings both analytical rigor and creative vision to complex challenges.

Ben's early career work at Health Canada produced an in-depth study on pharmaceutical patent legislation (Bill C-91), a study still referenced on Parliament Hill as the 'Champoux Report' decades later. Ben then joined Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation as Senior Market Analyst in New Brunswick, where he became the province's leading voice on housing economics, authoring reports and advising government and industry leaders.

​His strategic leadership then moved to the City of Moncton, where he launched the city's first Economic Development Strategy, led its transformation into one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities in the World (2009), and directed both economic development and tourism and culture portfolios. After eight years at the City of Moncton, Ben became CEO of Enterprise Greater Moncton, where he reimagined the organization as 3+ Corporation, overhauling its structure, culture, funding model, and brand.

​In 2016, Ben founded Champoux Economic Development Inc. to work directly with clients on strategic planning, organizational transformation, and economic development. In 2024, he co-founded SAFIR Moroccan Hammam & Spa in downtown Moncton with his partner Hiba, merging cultural wellness with community economic development—and proving that strategic vision can create businesses that enrich both people and places.

Ben is the proud father of two children, Ysloby and Widline, adopted in Haiti in 2009.
