“Richard has made an enormous contribution in his time as CFO of both Loblaw and George Weston, including his role in the creation of Choice Properties REIT, the acquisition of Shoppers Drug Mart, and the subsequent realization of synergies,” said Weston. “He has been a thoughtful and decisive contributor to the management board and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him in his new role as President and CFO, George Weston Limited.
“In Darren, we have found an excellent financial executive, with experience in a broad and complex business. He brings with him both a commitment to exceptional performance, and to values consistent with our own culture journey. His perspective will be a valuable addition to our Loblaw management board.”
Richard Dufresne joined George Weston Limited in 2012 and Loblaw in 2014, holding parallel responsibilities as CFO at both companies. This followed prior experience as CFO at a large food distributor and a career in investment banking.
