Cogeco Inc. has named Frederic Perron its new president and CEO, succeeding Philippe Jette, who is retiring.
Perron is taking the helm of the Montreal-based company and its Cogeco Communications Inc. subsidiary effective immediately, following a board of directors-led succession planning process.
Joining the company in September 2020, he previously held the position of president of Cogeco Connexion, Cogeco's Canadian broadband business, after leading T-Mobile's consumer business in Poland, holding executive roles at Vodafone in the U.K. and the Czech Republic, and running customer base management at Rogers Communications Inc.
Perron says he looks forward "to pursuing our current corporate strategy and extending our track record of growth."

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. was talking with a “respected” Iranian leader and claimed the Islamic Republic was eager for a deal to end the war. He also extended a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, saying it has an additional five days.
