Rogers Communications Inc. unveiled the team charged with combining two of the country’s largest telecom companies on Thursday by welcoming one senior executive from Shaw Communications Inc. to its 12-person leadership team and recruiting former federal Industry Minister Navdeep Bains to its senior ranks.
Two other members of Shaw’s eight-person leadership team, chief executive Brad Shaw and chief financial officer Trevor English, joined the Rogers board of directors earlier this month. Key Rogers executives, including the chief financial officer and heads of wireless, cable and human resources, kept their jobs in the shuffle.
To win federal government approval of the Shaw takeover, Rogers pledged it would spend a total of $6.5-billion expanding cell phone and internet services over the next five years, along with offering low-cost cell phone plans. The Toronto-based company faces up to $1-billion in penalties if fails to deliver.
Mr. Stakic spent nearly 20 years at Shaw in various executive roles. Prior to that, he worked on strategy and technology for Sprint Canada, a joint venture between American telecom Sprint Corp., Rogers and two other Canadian companies. Rogers eventually took over the business in 2005. At Rogers, Mr. Stakic is reunited with former Shaw executive Ron McKenzie, now the company’s chief technology officer.
