“On behalf of the Group and our many Nordic retail partners throughout Canada, I’d personally like to thank Jacques for his dedication over the past 26 years of service,” said Chris Horan, GM & VP sales and marketing, Rossignol Group Canada. “During his remaining time with the brand, Jacques’ market expertise and commercial guidance will help ensure a smooth transition. This, combined with Jeff’s vast experience, will position Rossignol well for the future as we look forward to expanding upon all Jacques’ hard work and growing our presence in the Canadian market even further in the months ahead.”
