Joseph Iannicelli named one of Québec's Top 25 financial industry leaders
Montréal, February 8, 2012 – For the fourth year in a row, Joseph Iannicelli, President and Chief Executive Officer of Standard Life in Canada, is one of the five most important players in the industry, according to Finance et Investissement's feature on Québec's Top 25 financial industry leaders.
In May 2011, Joseph Iannicelli announced his decision to leave the Company following a 19-year career at Standard Life. His successor, Charles Guay, began working in his new position on February 1, 2012, and Mr. Iannicelli will be staying on during the transition phase until February 14, 2012.
"I would like to thank Joseph for his leadership of Standard Life in Canada since 2005. In addition to strengthening the Canadian operations and its market position, he has been a valued member of Standard Life Group's Executive Team," said David Nish, Chief Executive Officer of Standard Life plc, in December.
In addition, for the third year in a row, Roger Renaud, President of Standard Life Investments, is also one of the 25 financial figures.
Finance et Investissement's Top 25 recognizes leaders who have distinguished themselves during the past year through both their achievements and their influence in the industry. Candidates are selected by a jury of representatives from various financial newspapers and magazines published by TC Media and well-known financial industry figures.
