With the appointment of a permanent CEO, interim President & CEO Dave McMillan will be taking a slight step back from his role with the firm. The company has indicated that he will remain as a director of the company, while assisting the transition to new leadership.

I am very pleased to join a great management team and lead the company as CEO.”
