Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed exiting, analyst sees ‘constructive transition’ – The Globe and Mail
Nadir Mohamed is stepping down as the chief executive officer of Rogers Communications, leaving the telecommunications and media giant in search of a new leader at a critical time for the industry.
Mr. Mohamed will leave his post in January 2014, about five years after taking over for founder Ted Rogers. He was seen as a steady hand who could ably manage the company following the death of the legendary Mr. Rogers when he was handed the top job in 2009. But after years of rapid growth, the company has had a harder time in recent years as new competition has emerged in wireless, its largest business.
-snip- Although Mr. Mohamed has not firmed up his retirement plans, he’d like to contribute to broader Canadian community, including working with Ryerson University’s Digital Media Zone.
“I actually grew up in Tanzania, East Africa, and our family came to Canada in ’71 and like many immigrants, I feel very blessed to have been in Canada – all that it has offered to us as a family,” he said. “So, I am really hoping, to be honest, to do more in the community and hopefully get a chance to contribute for the greater good in terms of Canada and what it can do.”
