Telus CEO of 26 Years Urges Successor to Take Risks, Trust Team

Telus Corp. Chief Executive Officer Darren Entwistle shared parting words of wisdom for his replacement, shortly before he leaves the job he’s occupied for 26 years.

Ahead of the Vancouver-based telecom company’s July 1 handover to Victor Dodig, former CEO of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Entwistle said: “Keep on building, have an appetite — a risk-infused appetite — for innovation and being different.”
