Mark Miller told investors and analysts on a conference call Wednesday that the tech giant will stick to his predecessor Mark Leonard’s playbook of acquiring and growing the portfolio of companies it owns. Miller, who took over as president last week and remains chief operating officer, said there are no plans to change the management team. (The Globe and Mail)
Talking point: Leonard stepped down suddenly last week from the company he founded 30 years ago, citing health reasons. His departure comes during a volatile year on the stock market for the company—traditionally a top performer on the TSX—as it grapples with how AI will impact its business. After the leadership change, Miller and chairman John Billowits bought a combined $1.7 million worth of stock to show “that we were very comfortable with the company and its long-term future,” Miller said on the call Wednesday.
