Montreal, Quebec — Belron Canada has named Michel Savard as the new CEO of the company, replacing Ralph Hosker after 20 years in the position.
The company made the announcement on Wednesday in a press release, saying that with this change Hosker plans to return to the U.K. to retire while Savard will become effective in his role as CEO on April 1.
Hosker will remain with Belron as an advisor to executive chairman Tom Feeney until June 30, 2022.
“Michel is the right person to serve as Belron Canada CEO at this pivotal moment,” said Hosker.
“He is an outstanding leader and brings a deep understanding of the company to this role. This nomination reinforces our confidence in Michel to sustain the company momentum.”
Savard came onboard with the company in 2009 as the v-p of customer experience and made a name for himself as an effective team-builder with high standards for execution.
“I see and believe in Belron Canada’s future potential and I am confident that we have the leadership, experience and skills needed to achieve the company’s goals,” said Savard.
“Our people are at the heart of our decisions, and together we built a culture that exemplifies teamwork at its finest—with passionate employees dedicated to serving our valued customers and partners. I look forward to driving our company forward while staying true to our purpose and philosophies. It’s an honour to assume this role during a time of transformation and opportunity.”
