The founder of Chaac, Guillaume Nepveu, holds both a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in applied mathematics. He taught math at Polytechnique Montreal University for eight years. Guillaume was a leader in the field of environmental disaster support and information management. In the course of his career, he has served as data manager and GIS specialist in numerous oil spills, including those associated with Deepwater Horizon (BP) and the Lac-Mégantic rail accident. As a result of a lack of solutions in the industry, he founded Chaac Technologies in 2014. The goal was to develop a solution to aid field personnel in collecting georeferenced data more efficiently. Consequently, Coral Collect was created, a field data collection application based on the Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique (SCAT). It has quickly become the industry standard in America and is being applied worldwide as a method for assessing shoreline oil contamination. A wide range of applications have since been adapted to the Coral platform, which originated from this first application. Following Coral's success, Chaac continued to integrate cutting-edge technologies into field operations. As a result of years of advanced research and development, Chaac has developed new solutions that simplify the use of drones and virtual reality during field operations. This paved the way for Chaac to become a major player in the field of digital transformation of operations.
