The origins of BCC

A story of summits, teamwork, and vision

Origin of the name

Why we chose the name Base Camp Connect

Discover our history

It all started at the foot of the Himalayas. In 2004, during an expedition to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, our president Jean-Philippe Grondin experienced a life-changing event. This journey was not just a physical challenge but also a meaningful lesson in leadership, mutual support, and resilience. He uncovered a simple yet powerful truth: every successful ascent begins with a strong base camp.

Voyage alphiniste, JP, Base Camp Connect, origine du nom

The ‘Base Camp’ part comes from my own experiences at Everest Base Camp, where every successful summit begins with a well-equipped base camp. That's where my passion for mountaineering was born. For the company, it symbolises our starting point for every communication solution we develop. The ‘Connect’ part represents our mission: to provide communications to protect human lives. Just as mountaineers rely on each other and their equipment to reach the highest peaks in the world, we are here to connect you to the tools essential to the success of your missions.

Jean-Philippe Grondin

President & CEO at Base Camp Connect

A vision inspired by the world's highest peaks

This was not Jean-Philippe's first expedition. From Ecuador to Nepal, via France, Switzerland, Italy, Canada and the United States, he has explored several iconic peaks, each with its own powerful symbolism.

Mission & Vision

Our base, your summit

At Base Camp Connect, every solution we design is conceived as a base camp: a solid, reliable, and essential starting point for reaching the most ambitious peaks. Inspired by the expeditions of our president Jean-Philippe Grondin, we believe that the success of a mission, just as the success of a mountaineering expedition, depends on preparation, connection, and trust.

OUR MISSION IS CLEAR

Just as mountaineers rely on their team and equipment to navigate the most technical passages, organisations depend on robust connectivity to operate effectively—even in the most demanding environments. That’s where we come in, transforming communications to protect human lives.

OUR VISION is ambitious

To be the most innovative strategic and tactical communications partner, listening to our customers and quickly integrating solutions tailored to their realities. Every summit we climb together reflects our commitment to excellence, collaboration, and resilience.

Summit meetings in our offices

Jean-Philippe’s high-altitude adventures inspired a distinctive feature in our Lévis offices; each conference room is named after an iconic mountain peak.

Whether it’s Everest, Kilimanjaro, or Mont Blanc, these names evoke powerful places that convey meaning and the spirit of achievement. They remind us that success—both in the mountains and in business—rests on three essential pillars: preparation, collaboration, and communication. These meeting spaces become places for reflection and elevation, just like the peaks that inspired them.
