Telus Corp. says chief executive Darren Entwistle will retire at the end of June and be succeeded by former CIBC chief executive Victor Dodig, who has been a member of the Telus board since 2022
The company says Entwistle has been chief executive at Telus for 26 years.
“Under Darren’s leadership, the TELUS team has consistently demonstrated a shared passion for purpose, fusing technology, social innovation and human compassion to create a friendlier future for all stakeholders,” Telus board chair John Manley said in a statement.
Entwistle will also step down from the Telus board when he leaves the chief executive job on June 30.
He will be given the title of CEO emeritus and act as an adviser and be available to Dodig until April 30, 2027.
Dodig stepped down as chief executive at CIBC last year, handing the reins at the bank to Harry Culham after more than a decade in the job.
