MONTRÉAL, March 28,
2024 /CNW/ - ADM Aéroports de Montréal is pleased to
announce changes to its Board of Directors with the appointment of
Marie-Hélène Nolet as Chair of the Board, succeeding Mélanie Kau,
whose term as a director expires on May
2nd. In accordance with the organization's bylaws
and governance principles, this appointment will take effect
following ADM's Annual General Meeting, which will be held on the
same day.
Ms. Nolet has been a member of ADM's Board of Directors since
2019 and is a member of its Audit and Risk Management Committee.
She was nominated as a director by the Chamber of Commerce of
Metropolitan Montréal (CCMM) due to her strong skills in the
sought-after areas of finance, governance, communications and
public affairs. Ms. Nolet has more than 25 years of management,
investment and negotiation experience in Canada, the United
States and Europe. Most
recently, she was Chief Operating Officer at Desjardins Capital.
She also worked at BDC, where she held various positions in venture
capital, marketing and public relations, and advisory services. She
holds a bachelor's degree in Commerce from McGill University and is a Chartered Financial
Analyst.
"It is with great pride and humility that I enter this new phase
of my involvement with ADM and its Board," said Ms. Nolet. "The
Corporation faces significant challenges ahead. I look forward to
continuing the Board's work on the rigorous foundation established
by Melanie Kau last year to further
develop the airport sites and ensure that our decisions continue to
be in the best interests of the community we serve. I would like to
thank my colleagues for their confidence."
"It has been a privilege to serve on the Board of Directors of
this important institution," said Ms. Kau. "This past year as
Chair has been intense, marked by recovery and growth. ADM is in
the process of adopting a new strategic plan and new master plans,
and there is no doubt that Marie-Hélène Nolet's deep knowledge of
the organization, combined with her top-level management
experience, will enable her to carry out her mandate with brio. I
am confident that under the guidance of the Board, and thanks to
the hard work of ADM's dedicated staff and CEO, our airports will
continue to evolve and serve users well for the benefit of the
community for years to come."
"I would like to commend Mélanie Kau's work and leadership since
2013, particularly as Chair of the Board since last May," said
Yves Beauchamp, President and CEO of
ADM. "Thanks to her expertise and in-depth knowledge of ADM, she
has been an essential support during this period of recovery and
phenomenal growth. She leaves the Corporation at a time when it has
returned to financial health after a difficult period during the
pandemic. From May, I look forward to having Marie-Hélène's support
as the organization implements its 2024-2028 strategic plan, which
will focus on building the essential infrastructure that will
enable YUL and YMX to reach new heights."
The Board of Directors would like to thank Mélanie Kau for her
leadership over the past year, which has allowed it to revise many
of ADM's policies and facilitate the arrival of its new President
and CEO.
