A Rogers-Shaw deal would make Tony Staffieri, Rogers’ still new CEO, king of a telecom empire. Over a year into Staffieri’s tenure, reviews are mixed and there are still questions about who’s really in charge.

. Both sides in the dispute were gushing leaks by that point, painting each other in the media as naïve, incompetent, scheming and, in Staffieri’s case, all of the above. But Staffieri himself, stuck at the lake running off the pounds, never said a word.

Regardless, by November 2021, it was all over. On Nov. 16, Natale left the company; Staffieri was named interim CEO. He got the job permanently on Jan. 11, 2022. Even Natale’s critics mostly acknowledge he has a gift for communication. Mid-level employees who spoke to the Star praised his ability to sell a team on his singular vision for customer service. Staffieri, to put it bluntly, is not that guy. “He’s a career accountant,” said one former Rogers executive and Staffieri fan.

Again, as CFO, bad cop, in a lot of cases, was Staffieri’s job. The question some had when he was first appointed, though, is whether he could grow beyond that as CEO. “He was very, very numbers focused. And that’s probably one of his challenges,” said one former senior executive. “He just looks at things and then can make up his mind … and say, ‘You know what, this is not working. And because it’s not working, we’re going to kill the project.’ ”, Rogers has earned praise under his leadership.

But while multiple current and former employees told the Star they had witnessed significant churn within their own departments — with, in many cases, the most talented and sought-after employees leaving first — Staffieri said that, company wide, that hasn’t been the case. “We have the people here that we want,” he said.
