Jean-Jean Vanasse
President at Colonnade Investments, Inc.
Profile
“JJ” Vanasse has spent most of his career working for privately owned, family-run agriculture businesses.
In a past role as President of Property Management at Bonnefield, he visited farm families across Canada to learn about their challenges and needs and understands how hard they work to put food on tables.
Since 2019, he has led the acquisition activities at Market Maker Agriculture, from early stages through to closing transactions for handoff to onboarding.
Over his career, JJ has been directly involved in raising more than $750 million in private equity capital for various businesses.
He has also guided many businesses through ownership transition: as the company being acquired and as the acquirer -- always with a view to setting them up for success in their next phase.
He is a Chartered Professional Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree.
