Rogers Communications Inc. Chief Executive Officer Nadir Mohamed plans to retire next January, a surprise move that sent Canada’s largest wireless carrier in search of a new leader for the second time in four years.

The board will appoint a search firm and begin looking internationally for a replacement, the Toronto-based company said yesterday in a statement. Neither Ed Rogers nor Melinda Rogers, the children of founder Ted Rogers, will put their names forward for the top job, the company said. Rogers is controlled by a family trust through a dual-class stock structure.
