Canadian incumbent Rogers Communications CEO Nadir Mohamed has decided to retire in January 2014.
Mohamed will work with the board during a transition period as the wireless operator seeks a replacement.
The board will appoint a committee to find a replacement for Mohamed. Rogers said it would hire a headhunting agency to indentify candidates internationally, and Mohammed would be involved in the selection of his replacement.
The outgoing CEO joined the company in 2000, becoming CEO of the operator’s wireless division in 2001 up until 2005. He was then appointed COO of the group, and, in 2009, succeeded the late company founder Ted Rogers as CEO.
Two of Ted Rogers’ children sit on the telco’s board, and have already said they are not looking to take the reins.
Rogers is one of the three dominant operators in Canada alongside Bell and Telus. It operates wireless, fixed-line, broadband and television services, and also holds media, publishing and sports assets.
